Quando i soprani cantavano ruoli maschili: una scelta musicale nell’opera barocca italiana

1721007996

Facendo eco alla felice co-produzione nel 2019 del ciclo di eventi musicali “Focus On Italian Early Music”, l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura ed il dipartimento per la cooperazione internazionale del Central Conservatory of Music hanno avviato in co-organizzazione la nuova serie “Incontri Musicali – Rubrica di Conferenze in Musica”.

Tutte le conferenze della nuova rubrica saranno caratterizzate da brevi sessioni esecutive dal vivo, che accompagneranno le relazioni degli oratori, con una funzione dimostrativa delle tesi enunciate dagli studiosi invitati.

Si tratterà quindi, come dice il nome della rubrica, di “Conferenze in Musica”, dove si parlerà della musica, ma si ascolterà anche la musica di cui si parla. Si potrà così non solo rendere più efficace e diretta la comprensione delle nozioni e delle tesi illustrate nelle conferenze, ma anche offrire al pubblico l’occasione di ascoltare tanta musica, spesso meno conosciuta, lungo percorsi d’ascolto suggeriti da esperti e musicisti.

Nell’opera di epoca barocca, soprattutto nella tradizione italiana, è frequente incontrare personaggi maschili per i quali il compositore delle musiche sceglieva di assegnare voci femminili (dalla voce di contralto a quella di soprano). Una scelta peculiare, non dovuta a ragioni sociali o religiose, ma una scelta di natura espressiva effettuata dai compositori, legata ad una particolare concezione estetica e musicale tipica dell’opera barocca italiana.

 

Nel corso della conferenza si descriverà il background storico e musicale all’interno del quale si sviluppò questo fenomeno. Allo stesso tempo, abbiamo invitato il giovane e talentuoso controtenore cinese Liu Shen, che accompagnato dai musicisti del Conservatorio Centrale di Musica canterà dal vivo 5 splendide arie tratte dalle opere italiane di Vivaldi ed Handel, consentendo agli spettatori di ammirare esempi diretti ed esplicativi sul tema della conferenza.

Programma dei brani eseguiti nel corso della conferenza:

 “Dille ch’il viver mio” (Teuzzone, Atto III); Antonio Vivaldi

“Vedrò con mio diletto” (Il Giustino, Atto I); Antonio Vivaldi

“Svegliatevi nel core” (Giulio Cesare, Atto I); Georg Friedrich Händel
“Cara speme, questo core” (Giulio Cesare, Atto I); Georg Friedrich Händel)
“Se bramate d’amar, chi vi sdegna” (Serse, Atto II); Georg Friedrich Händel
