This entry today is to quadruple dedication: for Mavis, for Cheto to Juanmi and Diego. The first three are going to release a live operatic role, and over a big, Real Madrid. A Diego did not get in the sack because he has had the opportunity to debut (though starting from a more honest in the humble name Cervantes Theatre in Malaga) and you know what is attend a function as a patrician, plebeian price (blessed Tickets last-minute ... I never want to meet 26). Can enroll in their respective curricula to achieve that type on this blog about a style that is very far away from the bel canto that prevails here. But hey, it's always good time to make an exception and this is one of them. I hope that the components of coos Clan, led by Rossini and Donizetti and Bellini flanked by (by the way the latter has not yet appeared in the blog, I'll have to remedy it as soon as possible) I was not angry. Today
blog reaches an enigmatic Mona Lisa smile without an unambiguous sexual Gioconda, a Gioconda not look interesting. Because La Gioconda now stops in the blog is not of Leonardo, but of Amilcare Ponchielli, miserable as they come and suffered as any other.
Ponchielli came into the world in the Lombardy region, particularly in Paderno Fasolare, an August 31, 1834. He began studying with his father, who was organist. At nine he entered the Milan Conservatory. He was organist at the Church of St. Hilary in Cremona, where he was professor of music. Teacher was director of the municipal band of Piacenza and Cremona, and composed some pieces for them. In 1881 he was appointed choirmaster of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. In 1883 comes as a professor at the Milan Conservatory. Among other students, had to Giacomo Puccini and Pietro Mascagni. He died in Milan on January 17, 1886, with only 51 years of age because of pneumonia that he contracted on his attendance at a function in Piacenza precisely the character work in today's blog.
La Gioconda is, without doubt, the opera that has made Ponchielli pass to posterity. Premiered at La Scala in Milan on April 8, 1876, was the librettist Arrigo Boito, who signed his work as Tobia Gorrie. It is based on Victor Hugo's drama "Angelo, Tyran of Padua" and its premiere took the legendary Julian Gayarre. Ponchielli had problems with the script from the beginning, and despite the release of 1876 was a success, the composer's work to be rebuilt again premiere at La Scala on 12 February 1880. His most famous moment: the Dance of the Hours , which was even used by Walt Disney for one of the scenes of his legendary Fantasy . Particularly inspired is the crowning moment for the tenor, Cielo e mar and the soprano, Suicide!
The score requires six great voices (voices not great) for the six main roles (Gioconda, Cieca, Alvise, Laura, Enzo and Barnaba). Hence, as regards their players while also adding to the director, needed a vocal balanced to overall results are fully satisfactory.
Come to the argument of the work, which counts among its ranks one of the most abhorrent and despicable of all the history of opera: Barnaba. Site courtesy Intermezzo.
At the beginning of the first act we are in a plaza opposite the Doge's Palace. It is located the mailbox where they are deposited anonymous complaints are made to the Tribunal of the Inquisition. A group of Venetian and Venetian cheerful singing and dancing set in a corner of the square by the spy Barnaba, lurking always someone to commit a foul to inform the inquisitors. This agent loves the Holy Tribunal the singer of ballads, known in the city with the name of the Mona Lisa. This appears driving his old blind mother and Barnaba took the opportunity to declare that inspires passion, but the girl away from him with disgust as he seeks the rich Genoese Enzo, which is love. Reach the square the gondolier Zuan, which has just been defeated in a race, and the treacherous spy, to avenge the scorn of the Mona Lisa, he says the blind old has cast a spell with his evil spell that has prevented overcome. The gondolier, dominated by anger, try to mistreat the poor old when Enzo appears and stops him. Enter
also the judge and his beautiful Alvise Inquisitor wife Laura, who holds secret affair with the noble Genoese. Laura begs her husband to take under its protection to the old woman, who, touched by this generous trait, presents the compassionate lady of the rosary, in gratitude. Meanwhile, the spy Barnaba passionate glances noted that Laura and Enzo were going, and to get rid of this rival in the love of the Mona Lisa, plot a plot to lose. Him aside, tells him that Laura will visit that night in the boat that is moored at the pier Venice, to whose notice the young nobleman escapes to prepare a fitting welcome to her lover. The vile spy report after the same thing to Alvise, him of the time and location where you can check his wife's infidelity. La Gioconda, who heard this statement, is beset by jealousy knowing that Enzo loves another. Then appears the chorus of pretty girls and boys Venetians, and dance in the middle of the square, the famous dance called "furlana", thus ending the act I.
begins Act II. Bridge of a ship moored in the port of Venice. The spy Barnaba, disguised as fishermen, sings in the company of sailors. After sending one of them to prevent its name to the galleys of the Doge's police, he hides. Enzo comes to his ship and is greeted with cheers by the crew. He is happy between sky and sea and when you see his beloved Laura introduces levarán board anchors saying that morning to set sail at first light of dawn. But their happiness is disturbed by the arrival of the jealous Gioconda, who disputes the affection of the man wanted to rival that which was torn. Drawing a dagger had been hidden is about to stab Laura, when he sees the rosary from her mother that it leads to the chest, and remembering the generous behavior to the poor blind, discarded its criminal purpose and gives you as a friend. At that time the ship approaches one of the ships of the police leading to the husband of Laura, and the Mona Lisa, to save the commitment that is if surprised, helps her escape. Enzo then informed the agents come to arrest him Dux, having been denounced by the spy Barnaba. The young Genoese, preferring to lose his ship rather than surrender to the inquisitors vile henchman, set alight by his own hand, putting safe later. And the act ends.
The Act III begins in the living room in the house of Alvise. This inflexible judge, but was unable to fully verify her husband's infidelity, decides to atone for their apparent indiscretions, perish that night. Thus, ordered to drink a beverage that contains poison and free herself from a life that has failed to support with dignity. The submissive wife promises to obey, while the Mona Lisa which is recognized for the good they did to her mother watches over her, replacing the venom of the crown by a strong narcotic. Laura swallowed and fell in deep slumber. Alvise, believing he is dead already, open the doors of the hall to his guests, which offers a great festival that runs the delightful "Dance of the Hours." The relentless Barnaba says Enzo, one of the guests, that his beloved has died. In his grief he tries to expose the host accused him of holding a dance at home, where a person physically present. The scandal caused by this serious allegation come the guards, who arrest Alvise, who, before leaving the room, pulls back a curtain and shows the inanimate Laura's body, which he says has killed himself. All guests are petrified with horror. Enzo is that supposed to avenge his dead lover, killing the cruel husband, but several guests are stopped, and as the guards carried Alvise, he is prisoner in the custody of Barnaba. Gioconda then gives it access to their love if it gets released Enzo, I try to accept the passionate spy with the hope of possessing at last the woman he covets.
The fourth and final act begins in the ruins of a castle located on the Adriatic coast. At this secluded retreat has led the dedicated Gioconda the dormant body of Laura. Once he arrived, the men said that have helped to escape to go in search of her elderly mother, fearing that their pursuers in the unfortunate blind revenge.
appears Enzo and Laura begins to awaken from their deep sleep. The two lovers embrace tenderly and vow never to be separated. La Gioconda sees this unhappy affair with sadness, because he thinks he is doomed to eternal solitude, and after generously help the two lovers to get to safety, he decides to die.
When you have to swallow a poison potion, the spy Barnaba appears next to claim his promise. She pretends to be willing to keep your word, as he met with it, but taking advantage of a distraction spy out his dagger and stabs his chest. The Barnaba cruel, seeing dying, still has time to embitter his last moments of life, saying that before coming treacherously in his search had killed his old mother.

As I commented on this recording, 1957, I am one of the best has been made of the work. Anita Cerquetti , Soprano of Ephemeral career, gives a thrilling Gioconda, with "Suicide!" that makes the hair stand on end. Mario del Monaco for its part is a big voice in this record fails to be a loud voice in one hundred percent of the score. Is missing more nuance and less raucous. However, a vocal waste as Enzo. Regarding Giulietta Simionato, Ettore Bastianini (which penalty career cut short by death in the very zenith) and Cesare Siepi simply say that is a Laura, Barnaba Adorno and references, a luxury for recording. Moving the Cieca of Franca Sacchi and competent the rest of the cast. Gianandrea Gavazzeni leaves his particular signature in the form of music in front of the hosts of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.
And finally, here I leave the links, edited and fragmented, as always:
CD1, Part
CD1, Part
CD2, part
CD2, part
And a short paragraph for my dedicated: Do not go to wait in this work the least warble. This has nothing, but nothing, nothing, nothing to do with Rossini's Tancredi. Yet it is from these works that, when properly raised, it makes you set eyes on the stage and be inspired by the music and its argument. What you enjoy Real!
