Kapitel: Der Freischütz, Oberon, Euryanthe, Die Drei Pintos, Abu Hassan, Silvana, Peter Schmoll Und Seine Nachbarn, Aufforderung Zum Tanz. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Der Freischütz is an opera in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber with a libretto by Friedrich Kind. It is considered the first important German Romantic opera, especially in its national identity and stark emotionality. Its plot is based on German folk legend, and many of its tunes were inspired by German folk music. Its unearthly portrayal of the supernatural is especially poignant in the famous Wolf's Glen scene. Despite its daring innovations (and some scathing attacks by critics), it quickly became an international success, with some 50 performances in the first 18 months after its premiere at the Konzerthaus Berlin on June 18, 1821. Among the many artists influenced by Der Freischütz was a young Richard Wagner. The overture and the "Hunter's Chorus" from Act III ("with Princely enjoyment and manly employment ...") are often performed as concert pieces. The title Der Freischütz comes from a German legend, and is difficult to render into English. It is usually translated as The Marksman or The Freeshooter. An 1822 illustration of Der Freischütz depicting the opening scene with Max and Kilian. The young gamekeeper Max loves Agathe and is to become the successor to Kuno, the head ranger and Agathe's father. But a test of skill in marksmanship is required, the trial to be held the following day. At a target shooting, Max loses to the young peasant Kilian, who is proclaimed "King of marksmen." (Chorus: "Victoria! der meister soll leben"/"Victory! Long live the master"; the good-naturedly mocking song of Kilian: "Schau der Herr"/"Let him gaze on me as king.") Because Max has had ill luck for several days he easily falls under the influence of Kaspar, who persuades Max to cast seven magic bullets to be used in the contest. Kaspar, whose soul on the morrow is to be forfeited to the devil, hopes to obtain three more years of grace by substituting Max in his place. (Trio: Kuno, Kaspar, Max; chorus: "O diese Sonne"/"O the sun, fearsomely it rises.") Left alone, Max sinks i ... Read more

Excerpt:Alberto Franchetti Photograph by Giovanni Artico circa 1906 Alberto Franchetti (born 18 September 1860, Turin ; died 4 August 1942, Viareggio ) was an Italian opera composer . A Jewish nobleman of independent means, he studied first in Venice , then in Dresden under Felix Draeseke , and finally at the Munich Conservatory under Josef Rheinberger . His first major success occurred in 1888 with his opera Asrael . His operatic style combined Wagnerianism and Meyerbeer with Italian verismo . During his life, critics sometimes referred to him as the "Meyerbeer of modern Italy." The words of music critic G. B. Nappi sum up Franchetti's primary talents: "His character is perhaps unsuitable for passionate dramas, but rather for those subjects, where the fantastic, romantic and epic are required in the symphonic texture and large choral pictures. In this regard Alberto Franchetti knows that he has no rival" (from "Orfeo" 6.3, 1915) Grove calls Cristoforo Colombo (1892) Franchetti's best work. However, his most popular opera was Germania (1902). It clung to the general operatic repertoire until the First World War ; it was performed worldwide, and Arturo Toscanini (who conducted the work at La Scala) and Enrico Caruso held it high regard. Caruso included a few of the arias in his very first commercial recording session in 1902 and repeated one piece the following year for the Zon... ... Read more
