#Opera Buffa

[opera-ghosts]

At May 1. 1786 the first Performance of „Le nozze di Figaro“ from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was in Vienna. Mozart himself conducted the first two performances from the Cembalo. Until today one of the most popular in the repertoire worldwide. Here we see a very old Postcard with a Scene from this very popular Opera, and the announcement for the first performance and the Burgtheater at this time.

‘the old guard’ is the name of a lil queer opera company tho.

They do Shakespeare in the park-type stuff. Nicky is a basso profondo & baritone Yusuf is marked down as annoyed and horny. The Plot is that Andy is a dramatic contralto & she takes the male/butch leads in drag, opposite quynh’s soprano (iirc contralto is the deepest register for women on a scale similar to the male tenor. whom also iirc usually get leading-man roles. Anyway it’s SUPER fascinating 2 me 2 swap them.) When quynh leaves, booker, a high tenor, does her bits in drag. There’s not as much vocal contrast between Booker and Andy tho, so after some faffing he goes back to his usual, supporting female roles, & enter Nile as prima donna soprano. Coolgirl career prima donna at Big Opera Houses, joining the guard to do queer shit. I think she’s a coloratura/whereas quynh was more of a Wagnerian soprano, & she fills the void quynh left with her own, brighter vocal style (themes & metaphors etc)

Something really interesting about opera is that it's a genre of story-telling where most of the famous works are 100-500 years old and - I would nearly say the majority of the works I have seen in it so far have the plot "a woman is about to be married off against her will, which is obviously a travesty and she should marry whomever she wants." Even in the Ring Cycle (which is mainly about other stuff) it is a huge and recurring plot point how absolutely vile it is to force a woman into an unwanted marriage, and in Italian opera buffa it's (it seems!) the plot of nearly every opera.

It's just interesting how nowadays the impression people have of the past is that marriage was universally seen as an economic arrangement between fathers that the bride had no say in. Yet these aren't niche, revolutionary works, they're popular entertainment, the equivalent of a rom-com on evening TV. Never once is the moral of the story that a woman should just suck it up and accept her fate. Either love triumphs or the ending is portrayed as tragedy. Sure, romance stories are wishful fantasies, they don't necessarily reflect the most common practice, but that's just as true today. The point is that the moral that was palatable to the public was one that is romantic and idealistic even by today's standard. The law may have been different, but the audience of these operas wanted true love to win just as much as today.

He already does that, I will survive

David, Lannes and Bessières are getting married. Will you paint a picture of the happy couple and their wedding?

...You mean the Marshals of the Empire? THE Marshals Bessieres and Marshals Lannes?

Wow! That is unexpected, but love is love!

I wouldn't mind painting them, if I get a fair payment!

Oh! Perhaps I could even invite Murat to the event! If I'm invited of course.

Hmmm... I doubt that those Marshals would like someone like me in their "special day".

Well, I don't see the problem! Just make sure to dress more acordin-

Never.

hi, sorry for asking but have you translated "The Servant of Evil ~Opera Buffa!~" manga? i bought the two volumes but i cant read japanese D:

Unfortunately I have not. I'm sure I could hunt down some scans of it somewhere but I don't have a lot of inclination towards translating it since it's a non-canon comedy manga.

Recently have been listening to opera buffa (such as La Cecchina, La Diavolessa, Le nozze di Dorina) and I really like this comical/satirical effect when noble characters in opera buffa roleplay as characters of opera seria (which they do very often). For example, when an aristocratic lady presents herself, lexically and musically, as this sublime heroic lover persecuted by Fate itself, but the extent of her actions is to go yell at a servant girl.
