At this festive time of year, we hope you make Symphony Center your musical home. Great music thrives inside Orchestra Hall in concerts performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and guests of the Symphony Center Presents series as well as in programs produced by the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute. We would like to highlight just a few of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s extraordinary offerings occurring in the days and months ahead.

In December, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra welcomes four guest conductors—Thomas Søndergård, Dalia Stasevska, Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, and Alastair Willis. In addition, CSO Artist-in-Residence Hilary Hahn returns to Chicago to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus performs Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and is also featured on the CSO’s holiday program, Merry, Merry Chicago!

To begin the new year, conductor Marin Alsop leads the CSO in works by contemporary composers: This Midnight Hour by former Mead Composer-inResidence Anna Clyne, Rounds by current Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery, and Her Story, a CSO co-commission by Pulitzer Prize-winner Julia Wolfe. Her Story pays tribute to the pursuit of equal rights, representation, and access to democracy for women in America.

In mid-January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the CSO embark on a tour of the U.S. and Canada. We are delighted that the CSO can resume touring this season following a two-year hiatus. Soon after the Orchestra returns to Chicago, Klaus Mäkelä conducts the U.S. premiere of another CSO co-commission, Aino, by Jimmy López Bellido.

The Symphony Center Presents series brings several outstanding programs in December, including the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, Itzhak Perlman and guests in The Fiddler’s House, Chanticleer (at Fourth Presbyterian Church), and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass. In January and February, SCP welcomes the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and the young musicians of Mutter Virtuosi, Mavis Staples with special guest Celisse, and acclaimed tenor Juan Diego Flórez. On Valentine’s Day, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, celebrating its centennial season, makes its Symphony Center debut with its new music director, Gustavo Gimeno.

We send our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy, and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon.

ALL THE RIGHT NOTES

Of all the music Riccardo Muti has conducted during his tenure as music director, there are certain composers and works that stand out to musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on Muti’s artistry and the experience of working closely with him by sharing which of his interpretations from the podium they cherish most. In addition, learn how you can experience these performances in and away from Orchestra Hall.

“I have loved performing the Verdi operas with Maestro Muti. Many of us had never played these works before, and it was a joy to learn them with Maestro Muti, who has a consummate knowledge of Verdi’s texts and scores. What a sublime treat for the Orchestra and Chicago audiences!”

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

“Maestro is aware of the time in which he lives, and wants, in my opinion, to teach the next generation of musicians and conductors to appreciate this music—works that are rarely performed but especially new compositions.”

“

When performing the idiosyncratic music of Mason Bates’s Alternative Energy, Maestro Muti assuredly guided the Orchestra with pinpoint control, expertly weaving between motoric electronic club beats and nuanced musical expression. His level of preparation for these new commissions has always been extraordinary, further gaining the respect from musicians and emblematic of this incredible partnership which has yielded so many unforgettable performances.”

“I love the few pieces we have done by Puccini with Maestro Muti and know the regard he has for Puccini. I particularly remember the Intermezzo from act 3 of Manon Lescaut—probably because I was working on performing a transcription of it on tuba at the time. Muti gave it wings that went far beyond my imagination. It was truly inspiring.”

“Maestro Muti is well known as the world’s most profound Verdi interpreter. He is no less masterful in Germanic repertoire that eludes even some of the most brilliant conductors. Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, and Bruckner are great strengths of his—for example Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 and the Mass in E-flat of Schubert. We are very excited about Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, one of the most notoriously challenging works in the entire repertoire.”

The Negaunee Music Institute’s Lasting Partnership with the Irene Taylor Trust

In 1995, the family of the late Irene Taylor established a U.K.-based charity with the intent to bridge two fields about which she and her husband, Lord Chief Justice Peter Taylor, cared deeply: prison reform and music. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Sara Lee, the Irene Taylor Trust’s inaugural program, Music in Prisons, developed workshops to support prisoners in composing, performing, and recording original music.

For over twenty-five years, the trust has expanded with additional songwriting programs for at-risk young people and ex-prisoners, all with the goal of using collaborative music-making to help individuals develop confidence, transferable skills and ambitions for the future.

teens incarcerated at the Illinois Youth CenterChicago, pregnant women and young parents through the Lullaby Project, and families that have lost children to gun violence through the Notes for Peace project. This season, projects take place at the Illinois Youth Center-Chicago, where youth will compose and perform original music supported by musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Notes for Peace concluded its most recent project with a performance at Epiphany Center for the Arts on November 20 of seven new songs dedicated to the memory of those lost to gun violence.

“The Irene Taylor Trust has shown us the power of collaborative songwriting,” said Jonathan McCormick, director of education and the NMI. “Our work together over the years has enabled the CSOA to engage with and serve communities across Chicago in ways we never could have imagined or implemented on our own.”

The Irene Taylor Trust became a partner of the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2013, when Sara Lee and Nick Hayes of ITT joined NMI staff and musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a weeklong songwriting project, modeled on the Music in Prisons program, with youth at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. In the years since, the partnership between the two organizations has yielded more than 150 original pieces of music, including songs written by

“ . . . It sounded altogether new, with a depth and spaciousness never before heard here.”

Welcome to Symphony Center!

October 4, 2022, marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of Symphony Center. The gala concert on that night in 1997 celebrated the completion of a threeyear restoration and renovation of Orchestra Hall. The New York Times touted, “it sounded altogether new, with a depth and spaciousness never before heard here.”

That same year, our long-standing presentation series, first established as Allied Arts in 1930, was renamed Symphony Center Presents to align with the facility’s new name. Symphony Center Presents offered an opening festival with star-studded performances in its inaugural season that included over seventy concerts by more than ninety artists and ensembles who came to perform in the self-proclaimed “Musical Heart of Chicago.”

It was my pleasure to have been a part of that first season, and it is my hope that we have been able to continue the tremendous legacy that brings the world’s finest musical artists to Orchestra Hall’s Armour Stage for all Chicagoans. Our 2022–23 programs continue that tradition by featuring a Symphony Center Presents Jazz series concert honoring the great Dave Brubeck (who appeared as part of the Symphony Center Inaugural Festival), as well as our annual two-concert residency with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. We’ll also present a recital by the outstanding pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, a performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, and the Symphony Center debut of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in its centennial season with its new music director Gustavo Gimeno. We’re also proud to welcome legendary gospel singer and Chicago’s own Mavis Staples back to our stage. All of these programs are examples of the extraordinary musical offerings that we have planned throughout our 2022–23 season.

I look forward to seeing you at this season’s concerts and thank you for your support of Symphony Center.

Oh, del mio dolce ardor from Paride ed Elena

composed 1770

Paride ed Elena (Paris and Helen), following Orfeo ed Euridice and Alceste, was the third and last of the reform operas in which Gluck and librettist Ranieri de’ Calzabigi sought to replace the showy vocal concert-in-costume that much baroque opera had become during the early eighteenth century with an integrated musico-dramatic telling of the story at hand. Paride ed Elena was unveiled in Vienna on November 30, 1770 (and published immediately thereafter), with almost no success; its failure drove Gluck to France, where his

career was invigorated, and his radical ideas about music drama found a warm reception. He never worked with Calzabigi again. In Paride ed Elena, Gluck and Calzabigi largely eschewed the grand historical and mythological events of the ancient tale in favor of concentrating on the passion ignited between the two title characters and musically depicting the nations of Troy and Sparta.

Paris (originally scored for castrato) sings the beautiful aria “Oh, del mio dolce ardor” (Oh, yearned-for object) in the first act, just after the Trojans have arrived on the Greek shores to take Helen back to their homeland. Helen was promised to the young prince by the goddess Venus for his having judged her the most beautiful of all women.

Oh, yearned-for object bramato oggetto! of my sweet passion, L’aura che tu respiri the air that you breathe alfin respiro. at last I breathe as well! Ovunque il guardo io giro Wherever I look, le tue vaghe sembianze your beautiful likeness is painted amore in me dipinge, in my mind by love, il mio pensier si finge my thoughts yield le più liete speranze, the greatest hopes of joy, e nel desio che così and in the desire which thus m’empie il petto, fills my breast, cerco te, chiamo te, I search for you, call for you, spero e sospiro! hoping and sighing!

O, del mio dolce ardor

bella published 1602

One of the great revolutions in music history occurred during the closing decades of the sixteenth century when a group of Florentine noblemen, who named themselves the Camerata (Comrades), set out to revive Greek drama—“opera,” they called it. They believed that music played an integral part in such performances and enlisted in their ranks the composer and virtuoso singer

Giulio Caccini, born and trained in Rome, to help develop a vocal style through which to tell the stories and convey the emotions of the ancient gods, heroes, and mortals. Caccini came up with a new manner of solo singing, supported by a simple chordal accompaniment (monody). He tried it out in operas based on the legends of Orpheus and Cephalus and perfected it in a collection of vocal pieces entitled Le nuove musiche (The New Music), published in Florence in 1602. The poignant song “Amarilli, mia bella” (Amarillis, my beautiful one) from Le nuove musiche was among the most popular compositions of its day.

Amarilli, mia bella, Amarillis, my beautiful one, non credi, o del mio cor dolce desio, do you not believe, oh, my heart’s sweet desire, d’esser tu l’amor mio? that you are my love? Credilo pur, e se timor t’assale, Believe it, by all means! And if fear assails you, dubitar non ti vale, take this, my arrow, aprimi il petto, open [my] breast, e vedrai scritto in core, and you will see written on [my] heart, Amarilli è ’l mio amore. Amarillis is my love.

giacomo carissimi

Born April 18, 1605; Marino, Italy Died January 12, 1674; Rome, Italy

Vittoria, vittoria, mio core!

composed around 1653

Giacomo Carissimi, the son of a cooper, was born in April 1605 in Marino, a few miles southeast of Rome. Nothing more is known of him until he appeared as a singer at Tivoli Cathedral in 1623, where he was appointed organist two years later. Following a brief stint in Assisi, first in the service of the apostolic vicar and then as music director at the cathedral of San Rufino, Carissimi was appointed maestro di cappella at the church of Sant’ Apollinare of the Jesuit Collegio Germanico (German College) in Rome, an important center of the Counter-Reformation, whose influence was felt throughout the Roman Catholic world. Carissimi was productive and apparently contented with his position (he became a priest in

1637), directing the music and composing a few masses and many motets for the college services (whose liturgical rigor and large budget allowed it to provide the model for Catholic worship). He rejected offers of other prestigious positions, most notably one to become Monteverdi’s successor at San Marco in Venice in 1643. Carissimi remained at the Collegio Germanico until his death on January 12, 1674.

In addition to liturgical compositions and a dozen Latin-language oratorios, Carissimi wrote some 150 cantatas (the secular Italian variety for one or two solo singers and continuo, comparable to a single opera scene, not the sacred German species familiar from the music of Bach). The best known of Carissimi’s cantatas, both during our time and his (judged by the many extant, near-contemporary copies), is the single-movement “Vittoria, vittoria, mio core” (Victory, victory, my heart), a spirited song about escaping the snares of love.

Victory, victory, my heart! Non lagrimar più, Shed no more tears! è sciolta d’Amore My craven servitude la vil servitù. to Amor is overcome!

Vittoria, vittoria, mio core!

Già l’empia a’ tuoi danni

The heartless creature has tried, fra stuolo di sguardi, with a shower of her glances con vezzi bugiardi and false cajolery dispose gl’inganni; to spread her net; le frode, gli affanni

but there is no more room non hanno più loco, for deceit and cares; del crudo suo foco her cruel fire è spento l’ardore! has lost its heat!

Vittoria, vittoria, mio core . . .

Victory, victory, my heart . . .

Da luci ridenti

From her laughing eyes non esce più strale, no arrow now flew che piaga mortale to plant a mortal wound nel petto m’avventi. in my breast.

Nel duol, ne’ tormenti

Midst grief and torment Io più non mi sfaccio I will suffer no longer, è rotto ogni laccio, all the bonds have snapped, sparito il timore! fear has flown!

Vittoria, vittoria, mio core . . . Victory, victory, my heart . . .

Born February 29, 1792; Pesaro, Italy

Died November 13, 1868; Paris, France

Selections from Péchés de vieillesse

composed 1857–68

After dazzling Europe with no fewer than thirty-nine operas between 1808 and 1829, Rossini abruptly stopped composing at the hardly advanced age of thirty-seven. Except for a little volume of vocal entertainment pieces called Les soirées musicales (Musical Evenings), jotted down between about 1830 and 1835, he thereafter retired completely from creative activity, traveling extensively in Italy and France and growing increasingly alarmed about the deteriorating state of his health. In 1855 he settled in Paris, and his French doctors ordered him the following summer to seek relief at the baths in Wildbad, Kissingen, and Baden. The treatment succeeded, and he

moved into a new apartment in central Paris in the autumn of 1856 with a renewed invigoration for life and work, though he maintained a strict daily regimen of walking, resting, dining, and receiving visitors. The only variation in his schedule came on Saturday evenings when he hosted one of the most popular salons in the city—invitations to his soirées samedi were among the most eagerly sought by artists and socialites from all over Europe.

At his gathering on April 15, 1857, Rossini amazed the crowd by presenting to his devoted wife, Olympe, his first new composition in twenty-two years, a series of six different settings of a poem by Metastasio, appropriately entitled Musique anodine (Music to Soothe Pain). From that date until his death eleven years later, Rossini composed again with real enjoyment, devising some 180 little pieces for solo piano, instruments, and various combinations of

accompanied voices, which he smilingly called Péchés de vieillesse—Sins of My Old Age. Though a few of these musical transgressions are serious in tone (“A Funeral Ode for Meyerbeer,” “A Deep Sleep,” “A Caress for My Wife.”), most are deliberately humorous or satirical or even grotesque in both title and content. There are, among many others, a whole series of pieces named for various desserts and hors-d’oeuvres, a tonguein-cheek programmatic number about “A Little

Pleasure Trip in the Train” (Rossini hated trains), “A Little Castor Oil Waltz,” “An Abortive Polka,” and “A Hygienic Prelude for Morning Use.” These delicious morceaux were eagerly served to the guests at his Saturday soirées, but he refused to have them published, and after his death, they were preserved in thirteen manuscript volumes in the archive of his works in his native Pesaro.

L’esule (The Exile)

Qui sempre ride il cielo, Here always laughing is the sky, qui verde ognor la fronda, here ever green is the bough, qui del ruscello l’onda here the brook’s wave dolce mi scorre al pie’; sweetly flows over my feet; ma questo suol non è but this soil is not la Patria mia. my homeland.

Qui nell’azzurro flutto Here in the blue wave sempre si specchia il sole; always reflected is the sun; i gigli e le viole the lilies and the violets crescono intorno a me; grow around me; ma questo suol non è but this soil is not la Patria mia my homeland.

Le vergini son vaghe

The virgins are pretty come le fresche rose like the fresh roses che al loro crin compose from which they make for their hair amor pegno di fe’; tokens of their faithful love; ma questo suol non è but this soil is not la Patria mia. my homeland.

In the Italian countryside è una città Regina; there is a queen among cities; la Ligure marina the Ligurian coast sempre le bagna il pie’. always bathes your feet. La ravvisate, ell’è You recognize it, it is la Patria mia. my homeland.

La lontananza (Distant Love)

Quando dal tuo verone, When from your balcony fra l’ombre della sera, in the shadows of the evening, la flebile canzone you hear a faint song sciorrà la capinera let out by the warbler, ed una pura stella and a pure star nel suo gentil passaggio in his gentle passage, la fronte tua sì bella your brow, so beautiful, rischiarerà d’un raggio, lights up with his ray, quando il ruscel d’argento when the silver brook gemere udrai vicino you hear groaning nearby, e sospirar il vento and the sighing of the wind, e sussurrar il pino, and the whispering of the pine, deh! ti rammenta, o sposa, Oh! you are reminded, O bride, che quello è il mio saluto. that that is my greeting. Donami allor pietosa Give me then, compassionately, di lacrime un tribute a tribute of tears e pensa, o Elvira mia, and think, O my Elvira, che il povero cantor that this poor singer per mezzo lor t’invia by means of them sends you, sempre più fido il cor. ever more faithful, his heart.

The evocative “Danse sibérienne” for piano is also familiar in the orchestral version that Ottorino Respighi included in his 1919 ballet,

La boutique fantasque, where it is used to accompany a Russian customer at a toy shop.

Deh tu m’assisti amore from Il signor Bruschino

composed 1812

Il signor Bruschino, a one-act farsa giocosa (playful farse) written for the Teatro San Moisè in Venice when Rossini was twenty, deals with the Bruschinos, father and son, the latter of whom has been contracted to marry Sofia, even though she loves Florville. The opera opens with Florville’s aria of longing for Sofia, “Deh tu m’assisti amore” (Assist me, oh love), though the situation is ultimately resolved in his favor by the final curtain.

Semiramide, queen of Babylon, murders her husband, King Ninus, with the help of her lover, Prince Assur, a descendant of Baal. Fifteen years later, she announces her intention to name a successor, and both Assur and Idreno present themselves as aspirants to the throne and the hand of Princess Azema. Idreno sings of his love for the princess in the aria “La speranza più soave” (The sweetest hope).

La speranza più soave

The sweetest hope già quest’ alma lusingava, once flattered my soul, e l’istante s’ appressava and my heart’s happiest moment più felice pel mio cor. was fast approaching.

Te mia sposa, a questo seno . . . You, my wife, my heart . . . Ah! sì, andiam! . . . Ma tu sospiri?

Ah, yes, let us go! . . . But you sigh? Par che il pianto celi a stento! It seems you can scarce hide your tears! (Ah! . . . ti frena in tal momento, (Ah! . . . be stilled, oh jealous fury o geloso mio furor!) at such a moment!)

Sì, sperar voglio contento:

Yes, I will hope for happiness. a chi t’ama cederai. To him who loves you, you will give way. m’amerai, dividerai You will give way, you will share di quest’anima l’ardore my heart’s burning passion e con me giubilerai and rejoice with me nei trasporti dell’amor. in transports of love.

Linda! Si ritirò . . . Se tanto in ira agli uomini from Linda di Chamounix

composed 1841

Linda, the opera’s title character, is the daughter of a family of poor tenant farmers in the French Alpine village of Chamounix. She is in love with Carlo, the son of the local noble family who, out of his sincere

affection for her, has made himself known to her only as a talented but penniless artist. Despite their love, Carlo’s difficult mother insists that he must marry another aristocrat rather than a peasant girl. Carlo enters Linda’s room while she is absent and sings of his disappointment in “Linda! Si ritirò . . . Se tanto in ira agli uomini” (Linda! She has withdrawn. . . . If our love, my dearest) before she has learned of his mother’s decision.

Linda! She has withdrawn. Povera Linda! Poor Linda! Non sa, che l’orgogliosa madre mia She doesn’t know that my haughty mother scoprì già il nostro amor . . . has discovered our love . . . Ch’or da lei parto That I must leave her, che s’oggi non istringo that if today I don’t marry un odioso Imeneo, che già conchiuse someone I do not love, a union in suo voler tiranno un ordine real . . . arranged by her tyrant mind, a royal order mi strapperà dal seno l’infelice, will tear from me the poor woman, qual vile seduttrice! Un sol momento accused of seducing me! I only wished un sol veder io la volea. No non mi sento to see her one more time. But now, or più coraggio: addio, I no longer have the courage. Farewell! il cielo ti consoli, angelo mio. May heaven comfort you, my angel. Se tanto in ira agli uomini

Linda! Si ritirò.

If our love, my dearest, è l’amor nostro, o cara, causes such opposition, il duro laccio infrangasi we must cut the thread di questa vita amara. of this bitter life. Lassù nel cielo un termine Up there, in heaven, la nostra guerra avrà. our strife will come to an end.

Linda, non son colpevole,

Linda, I am not guilty, un traditor non sono, I am no traitor, ah! ben di te più, misero, ah! Wretched me, I, more than you, pietà merto, perdono: deserve pity and forgiveness: un ampio mar di lagrime my life will only be il viver mio sarà. an ocean of tears. Se tanto in ira agli uomini . . .

Inosservato, penetrava . . . Angelo casto e bel from Il duca d’Alba (Attributed to Gaetano Donizetti)

composed 1881

Gaetano Donizetti began composing Le duc d’Albe to a French-language libretto by Eugène Scribe and Charles Duveyrier for the Paris Opera in 1839 but put the work aside after finishing two acts when the mistress of the theater’s director, slated to star in the production, disliked her part. Le duc d’Albe was still unfinished when Donizetti died nine years later. In 1881 Donizetti’s pupil Matteo Salvi, with the help of Amilcare Ponchielli and two other composers, had the libretto translated into Italian as Il duca d’Alba and completed the opera guided by his teacher’s sketches. (The original

French libretto was transferred to Giuseppe Verdi in 1855 and became the basis of The Sicilian Vespers.) Salvi composed the aria “Angelo casto e bel” (Pure and lovely angel), a favorite of Enrico Caruso, to open the final act of Il duca d’Alba, which was premiered at the Teatro Apollo in Rome on March 22, 1882. In the plot, the Duke of Alba has been sent to Flanders to suppress a rebellion against Spanish rule led by Count Egmont. (Goethe based a play on Egmont in 1789 and Beethoven composed a stirring overture and incidental music for a revival of it in Vienna in 1810.) Amelia, Egmont’s daughter, carries on the struggle with her lover, Marcello, who has been jailed. After his release, Marcello comes to Amelia’s private chapel, where he sings of his love for her and their perilous situation in the aria “Angelo casto e bel.”

Inosservato, penetrava in questo sacro recesso, Unseen, I have penetrated this sacred retreat, asil solitario consacrato alle lagrime! this solitary refuge devoted to tears! Qui move ogni sera a pregar pel padre suo! She comes here every evening to pray for her father. L’attenderò, la rivedrò! I shall wait for her, I shall see her!

Angelo casto e bel,

Pure and lovely angel, non turbi un solo vel may no cloud of anguish di affanno e di terror, ah! no, or fear trouble di questa cara il cor; this dear creature’s heart; pietoso al mio pregar listening to my prayer deh! possa Iddio serbar, may God keep joy for her a lei le gioie, a me i dolor! and grief for me!

Romanza senza parole for Piano

composed 1844

Verdi wrote only a handful of instrumental works, his string quartet from 1873 being the best-known; three brief sinfonias, and a piece for oboe and strings from 1836–38, when he was music director for the town of Bussetto directing and composing for

Questa o quella? from Rigoletto

composed 1850–51

the local philharmonic society and giving private lessons; two waltzes (1859) and the Romanza senza parole (Romance without words) for piano. The Romanza dates from 1844, five years after he had premiered Oberto, his first opera, and two years after the spectacular success of Nabucco in Milan inspired from him sixteen operas, capped by Rigoletto, Il trovatore, and La traviata. The Romanza is brief, lyrical, and unaffected, the keyboard counterpart to the two sets of vocal romances Verdi wrote during those years.

Rigoletto opens on a party scene in the palace of the libertine Duke of Mantua, who declares that he takes his pleasure where he finds it in the aria “Questa o quella?” (This one or that one?).

—Eugène Scribe and Charles Duveyrier

Questa o quella?

This one or that one?

Per me pari sono They all seem alike to me a quant’altre d’intorno mi vedo, when I see such beauty around me, del mio core l’impero non cedo but I give my heart no more meglio ad una che ad altra beltà. to one beauty than to another. La costoro avvenenza è qual dono If today one smiles on me graciously, di che il fato ne infiora la vita; tomorrow it will be another! s’oggi questa mi torna gradita, I hate tyrannous constancy of heart. forse un’altra doman lo sarà. It is cruel. La costanza, tiranna del core, Let him who wishes to detestiamo qual morbo crudele; be faithful; sol chi vuole si serbi fedele; he wants not love non v’ha amor se non v’è libertà. who wants not liberty.

L’Émir auprès de lui . . . Je veux encore entendre from Jérusalem

composed 1842–43

In Verdi’s Jérusalem, his French reworking of the 1843 I Lombardi alla prima crociata (The Lombards at the First Crusade), Gaston has been wrongly accused of the attempted murder of the Count of Toulouse, leader of the French crusaders and father of his betrothed, Hélène. Gaston is exiled to Palestine and captured by the Arabs. When he learns that Hélène has come to the Holy Land with the approaching crusaders, he sings “Je veux encore entendre” (I want to hear your voice again) at the hope of their reunion.

L’Émir auprès de lui m’appelle.

The emir has summoned me to him. Que dois-je craindre encore? What more have I to fear? De la France banni, Banished from France, captif au sein d’une ville infidèle, a prisoner in an infidel town, je ne pourrai combattre dans mon zèle prevented from displaying my valor in battle pour les ingrats qui m’ont injustement puni! for the ungrateful people who have unjustly punished me.

Hélène est près de moi! . . . dans leur camp! Hélène is nearby, she is in their camp!

Chère Hélène! Dear Hélène, dont un destin cruel m’a séparé! separated from me by a cruel fate! Ne pas te voir, quand le ciel te ramène! Not to see you, when heaven brings you near! Je briserai ma chaîne I must break my chains et je te reverrai. and see you again.

Je veux encore entendre

I want to hear your voice again, ta voix, ta voix si tendre. your gentle voice. Pour fuir il faut attendre I must await the shadows of dusk les ombres du soir. before I can escape. Ange vers qui s’envole My angel, my dreams of hope mon rêve d’espoir, fly to you, ah! bel ange, mon idole, ah, fair angel, my idol, je veux encore te voir. I want to see you again.

Puisqu’on ne peut fléchir . . . Vainement, ma bien-aimée from Le Roi d’Ys (The King of Ys)

composed 1876–81

Lalo’s opera is set in the ancient coastal city of Ys, which, according to a French legend, was submerged by accident or as divine punishment for its decadent ways or through betrayal by a love-struck princess. Le Roi d’Ys assumes the latter and has the king’s two daughters, Margared and Rozenn, both in love with the young knight Mylio, who is off defending the city abroad. Margared, however, has been promised in marriage by the king to his enemy Karnac in the hope of fostering peace between their lands. Margared learns that

Mylio has returned just as the wedding ceremony begins, and she refuses to proceed with it. Karnac threatens revenge on Ys. When Margared learns that Mylio returns Rozenn’s affections but not hers, she plots with Karnac to destroy the city by opening the gates that hold back the sea. Mylio kills Karnac only after the destruction of Ys has begun, and Margared, now repentant and realizing that the ocean demands a sacrifice if it is to be appeased, hurls herself into the raging sea from a high promontory. St. Corentin, the city’s patron, appears and calms the waves. A diversion in this dramatic tale is provided by the wedding of Rozenn and Mylio at the beginning of act 3. As the groom, alone, anxiously awaits the start of the ceremony, he sings “Vainement, ma bien-aimée” (In vain, my beloved).

Vainement, ma bien-aimée,

In vain, my beloved, on croit me désespérer: do I seem to despair: près de ta porte fermée next to your closed door Je veux encor demeurer! I am determined to stay! Les soleils pourront s’éteindre, Suns may be extinguished, les nuits remplacer les jours, nights replace days, but without sans t’accuser et sans me plaindre, blaming you and without complaining, là je resterai toujours! I shall stay here forever! Je le sais, ton âme est douce, I know that you have a kind heart, et l’heure bientôt viendra, and the hour will soon come où la main qui me repousse when the hand that now pushes me away vers la mienne se tendra! will reach out towards mine! Ne sois pas trop tardive Do not delay too long in allowing yourself à te laisser attendrir! to be won over by your tender feelings; Si Rozenn bientôt n’arrive, If Rozenn does not appear soon, je vais, hélas! mourir!

Foglio d’album for Piano

composed 1907 or 1910

Puccini may have composed Foglio d’album (Album Leaf) in New York, perhaps in 1907, when he was there for the Metropolitan Opera premiere of Madama Butterfly, or in 1910, when he returned for the world premiere of La fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West), commissioned by the Met. The score was published in 1942 in a collection of Puccini’s piano pieces issued by Edward B. Marks Music of New York. The lyricism of Foglio d’album is rooted in the impressionistic harmonic style that characterized Puccini’s later operas, including Il trittico, premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in 1918.

Ecco la casa. . . . Torna ai felici dì from Le Villi (The Wilis)

composed 1883

The story of Le Villi takes place in the Black Forest of Germany. Roberto, engaged to Anna, has inherited a large fortune from an elderly aunt and must go to Mainz to claim it. He leaves for the city, promising to return and marry Anna but succumbs to a

life of debauchery on his travels. Anna, forgotten, dies of heartbreak. After her death, she is joined by the Villi (Wilis, the witches of German legend) to exact revenge upon her faithless lover. Roberto is pursued by the Villi as he again approaches Anna’s house and sings of his fear and remorse in the dramatic aria “Ecco la casa. . . . Torna ai felici dì” (Here is her house. . . . My anguished thought) before the witches tempt him into a furious dance from which he dies of exhaustion.

Ecco la casa. Here is her house. Dio, che orrenda notte! Oh God, what a horrid night! Strane voci m’inseguon. Weird voices pursue me. Le Villi—evvia! The Wilis—away with them! Son fole! They are imaginings! No, delle Villi me non perseguita No, the fatal vendetta of the Wilis la vendetta fatal! does not pursue me! Tu sol m’insegui, rimorso! Thou alone, remorse, dost plague me, Vipera dal veleno infernal! viper of the poison of hell!

My anguished thought dolente il mio pensier, returns to those happy days ridean del maggio i fior, when May was gay with flowers fioria l’amor, fioria per me l’amor. and love blossomed for me. Or tutto si coprì Then everything was blackened di lugubre mister, by lugubrious mysteries, ed io non ho nel cor and now in my heart there is che tristezza e terror! naught but sadness and terror!

Juan Diego Flórez Tenor

With a career that includes performances on the world’s leading stages, Juan Diego Flórez has established himself as one of opera’s greatest talents with his virtuosity and expressive singing. In addition to his acclaimed operatic appearances and recordings, his generosity, charisma, and passion inspire his many philanthropic endeavors.

Juan Diego Flórez (Lima, 1973) began singing and playing Peruvian folk and pop music at an early age. He inherited from his family a love for Peruvian and Latin American music, and when he was a teenager, he wrote his own songs and sang live in the piano bars frequented by his schoolmates in Lima. In 1989 the young singer won Peru’s first Festival of Song for Peace, televised nationally.

In 1990 Flórez was accepted at Peru’s National Conservatory of Music and later became a member of Peru’s National Choir. The choir played a decisive part in his musical development, giving him the invaluable experience of performing music by the greatest composers at a professional level.

Keen to travel and continue his education, Flórez won a scholarship to the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. He studied there between 1993 and 1996 and had the opportunity to sing in a number of fully staged complete operas with an orchestra, laying the foundation for what was to become a spectacular career.

In 1996 Flórez auditioned for the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro and was immediately cast in a small role in Ricciardo e Zoraide. He never sang this part, however, as events were about to catapult him into the firmament of the international opera world.

It was the summer of 1996, and Flórez was already in Pesaro, rehearsing for Ricciardo e Zoraide. Shortly before the festival’s opening

night, the tenor who was due to sing the leading role of Corradino in Matilde di Shabran had to pull out because of illness. The organizers began a desperate search for a stand-in who might be up to the challenge—a less than easy task, given that this was a little-known opera, the first night was only days away, and Corradino is a very difficult role to sing. It was then that Artistic Director Luigi Ferrari offered the part to twentythree-year-old Juan Diego Flórez. The performance was a huge hit and marked the start of his stellar career.

Flórez made his La Scala debut on December 7, 1996, under the baton of Riccardo Muti, who was to be a key influence on the tenor over the next few years. Flórez had visited La Scala a few months earlier and, gazing out across the auditorium from one of the boxes, had said with great prescience, “I’ll be singing here within ten years.” He could never have imagined that he’d be starring there just ten months later.

Since then, he has appeared at all the world’s leading opera houses, concert halls, and music festivals, including the Metropolitan, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Los Angeles Opera, San Francisco Opera, Royal Opera House and Covent Garden, Vienna Staatsoper, Salzburg Festival, Paris Opéra, and Théâtre des ChampsÉlysées among others.

Flórez has recorded numerous solo albums and complete operas. He has been recognized as one of the best tenors in history by the BBC and has received numerous accolades and awards, including the Echo Klassik Preis, the Diapason d’Or, the Choc du Monde de la Musique, and Gramophone Award. In 2012 he received the Austrian government title of Kammersänger.

Juan Diego Flórez has always maintained a close relationship with his native country, which has awarded him its highest distinction: the Order of the Sun, Grand Cross. In 2011 he founded Sinfonía por el Perú, an inclusive social project inspired by the Venezuelan El Sistema, aiming to enhance the personal and artistic development of the most vulnerable children and youth in the country through music. In recognition of his work, he was appointed UNESCO

Goodwill Ambassador in 2012 and received the Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum in 2014.
