Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782-1871) was long considered one of the most typically French as well as one of the most successful of the opera composers of the 19th century. Although musically gifted, he initially chose commerce as a career, but soon realized that his future lay in music. He studied under Cherubini, and it was not long before his opéra-comique La Bergère Châteleine (1820), written at the age of 38, established him as an operatic composer. Perhaps the greatest turning point ...

The Politics of Opera in Handel's Britain examines the involvement of Italian opera in British partisan politics in the first half of the eighteenth century, which saw Sir Robert Walpole's rise to power and George Frideric Handel's greatest period of opera production. McGeary argues that the conventional way of applying Italian opera to contemporary political events and persons by means of allegory and allusion in individual operas is mistaken; nor did partisan politics intrude into the management of the Royal Academy of Music and the Opera of the Nobility. This book shows instead how Senesino, Faustina, Cuzzoni and events at the Haymarket Theatre were used in political allegories in satirical essays directed against the Walpole ministry. Since most operas were based on ancient historical events, the librettos - like traditional histories - could be sources of examples of vice, virtue, and political precepts and wisdom that could be applied to contemporary politics.

Musique, littérature, théâtre, opéra - loin de s’ignorer, ces domaines de l’activité artistique s’inspirent mutuellement, échangent et partagent des thèmes et des procédés. Plus qu’une simple référence, la citation - musicale en littérature, littéraire en musique - est un apport fécond. Venus des mythes, les dieux habitent le monde de l’opéra, le parlé devient chanté dans un même élan poétique et, suprême synesthésie, la musique est image. La question de ces relations complexes et incessantes est à l’origine des travaux interdisciplinaires réalisés lors d’une université d’été européenne baptisée « Rencontres Sainte Cécile », du nom de la sainte patronne des musiciens. Cette manifestation a été organisée à l’initiative d’Élisabeth Rallo Ditche et en collaboration avec Aude Locatelli et Éric Lecler, en lien avec le prestigieux Festival d’art lyrique d’Aix‑en‑Provence.
