LUCIO SILLA

Composer: MOZART Wolfgang Amadeus Soloist(s): Roberto Saccà, Annick Massis, Monica Bacelli Veronica Cangemi, Julia Kleiter, Stefano Ferrari Conductor(s): Tomás Netopil Orchestra(s): Orchestra of Teatro La Fenice di Venezia Number: CDS524 Choir(s): Chorus of Teatro La Fenice di Venezia Released: 2008 Live recording from Teatro la fenice di Venezia in 2006 Label: DYNAMIC Description: Using the traditional structures of Neapolitan opera as a basis, in Lucio Silla Mozart gave life to a style that was very advanced in both forms and contents: the choruses, the great number accompanied recitatives, the arias that were not necessarily scored with the ”da capo” structure represent the opera’s main novelties alongside wholly unusual, bold harmonic and melodic features. The use of various forms of solo aria - and the consequent abandonment of the single ”da capo” model - confirms the composer’s wish to find the structures best suited to the expression of various different emotional states. Alongside the characters of Neapolitan theatre, accentuated compared to the models, we thus find traces of an impassioned spirit, seeking to reach beyond conventional patterns. This comes about not only through decidedly massive use of the orchestra, which accompanies and illustrates the action with a very marked poetic sense and does not limit itself to redoubling the song, but indeed inserts new melodies and denotes independent treatment of the single timbres, but also through a wholly personal representation of emotions overstepping the situations offered by the libretto as it aims for almost an passionate tragic nature. With this his third ”dramma per musica” Mozart successfully concludes his activity in Italian theatres; he does not achieve any concrete openings for his profession, but does draw artistic profit from the experiments he carries out here, which will be exploited in later titles in his catalogue.

LUCREZIA BORGIA

Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse

Nous attendions beaucoup de la première Lucrezia Borgia d’Annick Massis , nouvelle étape d’un parcours donizettien marqué de superbes réussites (Lucia di Lammermoor, Maria di Rohan, Maria, Stuarda….) Mais la soprano française, connue pour sa retenue et son irréprochable correction vocale et stylistique, nous a totalement pris par surprise en se jetant dans le rôle avec une fougue et une intensité inédite . La précision du chant , la perfection de la technique, le sens des nuances, la variété du phrasé, la facilité de l’aigu, sont toujours au rendez-vous. Ce qui étonne , c’est la violence des accents, en particulier dans l’affrontement avec Alfonso, à la fin de l’acte I, et dans la scène finale. Grâce à un registre grave libéré de toute entrave, Annick Massis endosse avec un aplomb stupéfiant les atours de la grande tragédienne romantique, en évitant tout effet expressionniste dans l’expression de la haineux de la douleur. Après un pareil accomplissement , on rêve de l’entendre en Paolina de Poliuto , Parisina où Gemma di Vergy , voire, pour sortir de Donizetti, en Semiramide où Imogene d’Il Pirata. Surtout on aimerait qu’elle revienne à Maria Stuarda pour compléter un portrait certes convaincant (à Marseille comme à Monte Carlo), mais un peu trop tourné vers l’aspect victimaire de la Reine d’Ecosse.
