Dramma Per Musica
Dramma per musica (Italian, literally: ''drama for music'', plural: ''drammi per musica'') is a libretto. The term was used by dramatists in Italy and elsewhere between the mid-17th and mid-19th centuries. In modern times the same meaning of ''drama for music'' was conveyed through the Italian Greek-rooted word ''melodramma'' (from μέλος = song or music + δρᾶμα = scenic action). ''Dramma per musica'' never meant "drama ''through'' music", let alone music drama. A ''dramma per musica'' was thus originally (in Italy in the 17th century) a verse drama specifically written for the purpose of being set to music, in other words a libretto for an opera, usually a serious opera (a libretto meant for opera buffa, i.e. comic opera, would have been called a ''dramma giocoso''). By extension, the term came to be used also for the opera or operas which were composed to the libretto, and a variation, ''dramma in musica'', which emphasised the musical element, was sometimes preferre ...

Rosa Borosini
Rosa Borosini ée d'Ambreville(c1693 - died after 1740) was an Italian soprano and the wife of tenor Francesco Borosini (married 1722). In 1716 she created the role of Getilde in the world premiere of Antonio Vivaldi's ''La costanza trionfante degl'amori e de gl'odii''. Born in Modena, Rosa's father was the second maestro di cappella in the court of Francesco II d'Este, Duke of Modena, and her sister was the contralto Anna Ambreville who was married to cellist and composer Giovanni Perroni. She began her career at the Teatro Ducale di Piazza in Modena where she was committed in 1713-1714, 1717, and 1720. She also performed in opera houses in Venice (1715–16), Mantua (1718) and Turin (1719), before being engaged by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor for his court theater at a salary of 1800 florins on March 1, 1721. She remained in that post until her retirement with a pension in 1740. In 1723 she performed in the premiere of Vinzenz Fux's ''Costanza e Fortezza'' in Prague, and was ...

Opera Seria
''Opera seria'' (; plural: ''opere serie''; usually called ''dramma per musica'' or ''melodramma serio'') is an Italian musical term which refers to the noble and "serious" style of Italian opera that predominated in Europe from the 1710s to about 1770. The term itself was rarely used at the time and only attained common usage once ''opera seria'' was becoming unfashionable and beginning to be viewed as something of a historical genre. The popular rival to ''opera seria'' was ''opera buffa,'' the 'comic' opera that took its cue from the improvisatory commedia dell'arte. Italian ''opera seria'' (invariably to Italian libretti) was produced not only in Italy but almost throughout Europe, and beyond (see Opera in Latin America, Opera in Cuba e. g.). Among the main centres in Europe were the court operas based in Warsaw (since 1628), Munich (founded in 1653), London (established in 1662), Vienna (firmly established 1709; first operatic representation: ''Il pomo d'oro'', 1668), ...

Operas By Antonio Vivaldi
Opera is a form of theatre in which music is a fundamental component and dramatic roles are taken by singers. Such a "work" (the literal translation of the Italian word "opera") is typically a collaboration between a composer and a librettist and incorporates a number of the performing arts, such as acting, scenery, costume, and sometimes dance or ballet. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor. Although musical theatre is closely related to opera, the two are considered to be distinct from one another. Opera is a key part of the Western classical music tradition. Originally understood as an entirely sung piece, in contrast to a play with songs, opera has come to include numerous genres, including some that include spoken dialogue such as ''Singspiel'' and ''Opéra comique''. In traditional number opera, singers employ two styles of singin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
