Le Feste D'Apollo
''Le feste d'Apollo'' (''The Festivals of Apollo'') is an operatic work by Christoph Willibald von Gluck, first performed at the Teatrino della Corte, Parma, Italy, on 24 August 1769 for the wedding celebrations of Ferdinand, Duke of Parma and Archduchess Maria Amalia of Austria. Styled a ''festa teatrale'', ''Le feste d'Apollo'' consists of a prologue and three self-contained acts on the model of French ''opéra-ballet'' (the court of Parma was passionately interested in French culture). Gluck knew the Archduchess Maria Amalia well as she had sung in two of his operas, '' Il Parnaso confuso'' and ''La corona'', in Vienna. The composer recycled a lot of music from his earlier operas in the score of ''Le feste''. In fact, the whole of the third act, ''Orfeo'', is a shorter reworking of his most famous piece, ''Orfeo ed Euridice'' (1762). The overture to the prologue is taken from '' Telemaco''. Gluck later reused some of the choruses in two of the operas he wrote for Paris, ''Iph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
