Opera at Oakhurst
April 11-15, 2013
Click here for the brochure
Bel canto has been defined as "a style of singing characterized by beauty of tone rather than dramatic power." There can be no doubt that the Italian bel canto opera of the early 19th century represents a huge point of beauty in the history of Western music, but it is also thrilling drama. Bel canto opera not only deepened and humanized opera as a dramatic medium, it represented a crucial stage in the development of opera into a modern art form.
In this weekend, we will explore the bel canto operatic repertoire, considering it as both a major part of the European Romantic movement and a precursor to modern psychological drama. We will discuss some of the most popular operates from the period, such as Il barbiere de Sivlia, Morma, and Lucia dt Lammermoor and we will become acquainted with some its lesser known masterpieces, as, for example Rossini's Otello and Maometto II, Bellini's La straniera, and Donizetti's Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda and Maria di Rohan. We will also consider the way in which the operatic voice developed during the bel canto period and look at the careers of some of the most colorful performers in operatic history.
The bel canto repertoire is quite large. Between them Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti wrote well over 100 operas, only a fraction of which are still performed regularly. Their output and those of other, lesser-known bel canto composers represent a wonderfully rich treasury of unfamiliar opera. This weekend will provide an introduction to some of the most beautiful music ever written for the human voice.
