Duration: full evening Text by the composer using a text by Walter Jens Place and time: Chamber of the King Philip V. of Spain, Middle of the 18th Century Characters: Farinelli (Countertenor/alto) - King Philip V. of Spain (baritone) - Nicola Porpora (baritone) - The Kings Personal Physician, also Barber (tenor) - The Kings Confessor, also Impresario and Priest (bass) - Maria (Bellino), later Anna Maria Strada (soprano) - Georg Friedrich Handel (baritone) - Jenny, Jim, John, English Opera Troupe (soprano, tenor, baritone) - The young Carlo Broschi (boy treble) The dramaturgical constellation of the subject forced me to use multifaceted and stylistic means. I have used melodic segments from the Farinelli arias that are still extant today, as well as other Baroque vocal and formal elements, models inspired by the Singspiel and the musical, and even a rap piece over a techno rhythm. The musical center of the opera consists of song and the human voice. Farinelli is a bel canto opera. (Siegfried Matthus) Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, was the brightest star among the castrato tenors of the 18th century. Handels enemies brought him to London so that he could outshine Handels singers. Here, Matthus depicts Farinelli at the Spanish court, ruled by the pathologically melancholy King Philip V. In a review of his life, we relive important stages in the career of the singer, who lived outside of the norm and found his home in the fascinating twilight world between art and artificiality.Wor ld premiere: Netzeband, July 12, 1997.

Gimenez-Rodriguez, Gloria Araceli Rodriguez-Lorenzo Espana e Italia mantuvieron unas fuertes relaciones culturales a lo largo de su historia. El mismo Miguel de Cervantes recorrio en su juventud la peninsula italiana. Las relaciones politicas tuvieron su culminacion en 1759 cuando Carlos de Borbon paso de ser rey de Napoles a trasladarse a Madrid al aceptar la corona espanola. Los intercambios culturales tambien incluyeron la musica, como se muestra en la presencia en Espana del gran castrato Farinelli o compositores como el piacentino Corselli, el napolitano Domenico Scarlatti o el luques Luigi Boccherini. Gran parte de estos intercambios habian tenido una base institucional, en torno a la monarquia, las casas nobiliarias o la Iglesia. Pero a partir de 1750 asistimos a un desarrollo de vias mas informales, que enriquecen el panorama. Se abren asi nuevas luces y perspectivas a estos flujos musicales entre Espana e Italia, con temas como el mercado, la edicion, la ensenanza, el comercio de la opera o los conciertos. Este libro explora estos trasvases musicales entre Espana e Italia entre las decadas centrales del siglo xviii y la primera mitad del siglo xix, un periodo en el que se produce el paso hacia la sociedad contemporanea.
