MAC Box Office: (812) 855-7433 music.indiana.edu/operaballet Synopsis La Traviata by Matthew Leone Act I The courtesan Violetta Valery hosts a massive party at her house in Paris. As the guests revel in drink, conversation, and games, the Viscount Gastone introduces Violetta to his friend, Alfredo Germont, who has secretly admired her from afar. The guests interrupt their conversation, however, and ask Alfredo to offer a toast. Together with the guests, Alfredo sings in celebration of love and wine, while Violetta sings of pleasure and happiness. As the guests move to another room to dance, Violetta falters, becoming pale and weak from illness. Alfredo stays behind with Violetta and confesses his love for her, but Violetta rebukes him, believing herself incapable of such a feeling. Despite this, she gives Alfredo a flower from her corsage and asks him to return it to her when it has withered the following day. Overjoyed at the prospect of seeing Violetta again, Alfredo departs with the other guests as the party ends. Now alone, Violetta struggles with her conflicted emotions. Although she reasserts her commitment to pleasure, she also wonders if accepting her budding love for Alfredo might be the better choice. Act II Scene 1 Three months have passed, and Violetta, having given up her life of pleasure and parties, is now living with Alfredo in a country house outside of Paris. However, Alfredo soon learns that Violetta has been selling her possessions to pay for this new life in the country. Distraught, he leaves for Paris to obtain the money himself. Soon after, Violetta returns with her maid, Annina. Violetta’s friend Flora has invited her to a party in Paris, but Violetta declines, having given up such pursuits. Her servant Giuseppe then informs her that she has a visitor: Giorgio Germont, Alfredo’s father. Germont implores Violetta to end her relationship with Alfredo, which threatens the marriage prospects of Alfredo’s sister. After much resistance, Violetta concedes to Germont’s request, and after he departs, Violetta writes a farewell letter to Alfredo. Her lover returns a short time later, and Violetta, overcome with grief, bids him a tearful goodbye and heads to Flora’s ball. Alfredo then reads her farewell letter and is shocked and angered by Violetta’s apparent betrayal. Germont returns and attempts to console his son, but Alfredo ignores him and sets out for Paris, seeking revenge. Intermission Scene 2 (Act II, cont.) At Flora’s house, the party is underway, and the guests discuss Violetta and Alfredo’s recent separation. After a series of dances, Violetta arrives with the Baron Douphol, her new lover. They notice Alfredo at the gambling table, where he has been winning large sums of money. The Baron challenges him to a card game, and Alfredo wins, much to the Baron’s chagrin. Afterward, Alfredo confronts Violetta, who still refuses to reveal the real reason she left him. Attempting to conceal the truth, she tells him that she loves the Baron, and in a fury, Alfredo condemns her in front of the other guests. Germont scolds his son for his outburst, and Alfredo feels remorseful. Nevertheless, the Baron steps forward and challenges Alfredo to a duel to defend Violetta’s honor, while Violetta reassures herself that she will still love Alfredo, even after death. Act III As Paris celebrates Carnival, Violetta lies bedridden, weak, and severely ill. Doctor Grenvil visits her and reveals to Annina that Violetta will die within a few hours. After Annina and Grenvil depart, Violetta reads a letter from Germont, which notifies her that Alfredo won his duel against the Baron and has now gone abroad. Deeply regretful, Germont says he has also told his son the true reason Violetta left him and that Alfredo is coming back to ask Violetta’s forgiveness. Violetta fears it may be too late, but Alfredo does come, and Violetta’s hope for a happy life with Alfredo is restored. However, the joyous moment is but a fleeting illusion, and Violetta finally succumbs to her illness and dies. from INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS Opera for All Seasons 60 Years of Indiana University Opera Theater Marianne Williams Tobias Hardcover 978-0-253-35340-5 $39.95 SaLE PRICE $20.00 iupress.indiana.edu 800-842-6796 From reconfigured army barracks to a stage rivaling that of the Met, the IU Opera Theater has grown into a world-class training ground for opera’s next generation.

Director’s Notes by Jeffrey Buchman This new production of La Traviata was conceived with a concerted focus on telling Violetta’s personal story of love, sacrifice, and pursuit of redemption through a noble act. Her story lives in a hypocritical, male-dominated world that confines courtesans to the demi-monde; a world between worlds that sees them worshipped for their beauty, wit, and seductive skills, while denying them a complete existence and most importantly, true love. Kept by wealthy men, lavished with luxurious gifts, cash, homes, and anything else they desire, the almost imperceptible walls of the demi-monde serve like a shadow box to put courtesans on display as exquisite objects, while at the same time imprisoning them within a world few can escape. The effects of this confinement are painfully evident in Violetta’s words, which reveal feelings of living an arid existence (“l’aride follie del viver mio”) and fears of being abandoned, all alone in the crowded desert called Paris (“Sola, abbandonata in questo popoloso deserto che appellano Parigi”). Her emotional and psychological suffering, together with the physical pain and weakness caused by the consumption that is fast-tracking her towards her grave all drive her to immerse herself in the only escape she knows—the constant whirl of scintillating pleasure and parties that surround her, what she calls the vortici di voluttà. Obtained as kept objects to adorn men’s worlds, young women found themselves in new and exciting circles of society, lavished with luxuries they could previously only have dreamed of. It may have appeared from outside of this shadow box of sorts that they were living as part of high society, or the haute-monde, but they were not. Theirs was a fragile existence in a world of ever-shifting appearances and realities. If the courtesan was not struck down by consumption, the most common killer of the time, then it might be her fading beauty or her falling out of favor that could easily cut short her reign. The vibrant life of the demi-mondaine was inevitably short-lived and tragic. This certainly proves true for Violetta, who, barely a young woman, dies completely abandoned by the society that once revered her. Verdi’s Violetta is based on the real-life courtesan Marie Duplessis, and if we take events from Marie’s life as the example, we see a harsh and unforgiving existence full of dramatic transition and transformation. First came the cruel transition from innocent child to a young girl sold to a 70-year-old man by her own father. Only a few years later, came the evolution from impoverished young girl on her own in Paris into a kept woman discovering the small bit of power she might have over men in a world where men held all the power. Then came the dramatic transformation from a simple kept woman into a grande horizontale, the highest level of Parisian courtesan. But most noteworthy is the final metamorphosis from fallen woman, or Traviata, to redeemed soul. Be a part of the arts with the Indiana Daily Student.

Conductor’s Notes by Joseph Rescigno In many ways, Giuseppe Verdi is to opera what Ludwig van Beethoven is to symphonic literature: their works are mainstays of their repertories; both composers continued to grow and develop musically throughout their lives; and their numerous works may be divided into three distinct periods. Also, Verdi’s style is not unlike Beethoven’s, characterized as it is by rhythmic drive, sophisticated development and counterpoint, and rock-solid architecture. La Traviata is the last of three enduring Verdi works premiered in just the three years 1851 to 1853 (the other two being Rigoletto and Il Trovatore). While some people may disagree as to whether La Traviata is forward-looking enough to be called the first verismo opera, it is a break from classic bel canto opera. First, the plot is modern; indeed, its heroine’s lifestyle was considered too racy for a contemporary setting, and for about four decades after its premiere, it was set in the eighteenth century. The other modern aspect of the opera is its extensive through- composition; there are long stretches of music where the bel canto composers would have presented separate numbers and left room for applause. Moreover, the vocal ornamentation is supplied by the composer and more restrained than we hear in bel canto operas; and singers bring few, if any, personalized variations and embellishments to La Traviata.

This is a group of musicians who play contrasting music that is part of the story, sometimes outside the pit (backstage, for example). In La Traviata, the banda plays during the party of the first act and outside Violetta’s window in the last act. Listen, too, for the beautiful clarinet solo of Act II, Scene 1, where Violetta writes her farewell letter to Alfredo; it is almost certain that this clarinet solo and the cello quartet of Verdi’s later opera, Otello, served as inspiration for Giacomo Puccini when he composed the opening sections of Tosca’s Act III. While using the same size orchestra as Verdi’s other operas of that time, this opera has a particularly light orchestration and feeling. Not until his last opera, Falstaff, would Verdi again serve musical champagne in quite this manner. After the entire orchestra bubbles with the opening tune (“Allegro brillantissimo e molto vivace,” a most brilliant allegro and very lively), the composer reduces the orchestra to just a few strings. In fact, depending on the size and acoustics of the theater, this passage can sound exquisite with just a string quartet, which reasonably could be playing at this kind of party. The challenges in conducting La Traviata, include cultivating this spirit of beauty and delicacy. Even in the opera’s most dramatic moments, it is imperative to avoid heaviness. In the Act II, Scene 2 confrontation between Alfredo and Violetta, for example, I try to sustain the drama but avoid excess by having the strings play some of their repeated notes using a light, bouncing, bowing technique (such as the picturesquely named “ricochet” technique).

Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows Directed by Lee Cromwell Music Direction by Terry LaBolt Choreographed by Liza Gennaro Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon April 18 - 26, 2014 This production is sponsored in part by Associate Producers Frank & Becky Hrisomalos and Carolyn Bailey & Joan Olcott and Partnered Associate Producers Barry and Kathryn Brown Those repeated rhythmic figures in the accompaniments, which are part of why the orchestra can get heavy in this scene, are more common in La Traviata than in Verdi’s other works of this period. They are not like the repeated arpeggios in the introduction to “Casta Diva” in Vincenzo Bellini’s Norma, which sound delicate and even ethereal. The figures used here play a more percussive role, like the chords in the rock and roll pianos of Chubby Checker or Jerry Lee Lewis, or the bass instruments in jazz and rock combos. When used by today’s concert and opera composers, these repeated figures are generally referred to as ostinati (plural of ostinato, the Italian for “stubborn”). In addition to hearing these in the Violetta-Alfredo confrontation, we encounter them when Germont sings of his daughter in Act II, Scene 1; as Violetta writes her farewell letter to Alfredo later in that scene; during her final aria, “Addio del passato” (“Goodbye to the Past”); and at the conclusion of the opera. In La Traviata, Verdi supplies indications more liberally than earlier composers did, a practice that would grow throughout the romantic era and into our own day. As is true in all music, however, performing it requires thought about dramatic purpose and imagination in execution. For the conductor, the preludes to Act I and the final act, comprise a particularly apt example. They look very similar on the page. There is room to treat them differently, however, without any fundamental change in the music. In the first prelude, the orchestra can portray a struggle: Violetta’s refusal to accept any limitations as expressed in the aria “Sempre libera” that closes the act. In the last act prelude, the same music played a bit slower and softer and even calmer can preview her acceptance of inevitable death as expressed in that act. But conductors need to exercise restraint in making adjustments. A temptation lurks in the Act II finale, which is marked “Largo”—a slow tempo—but contains no further tempo indications. This begins with the entrance of Germont with “Di sprezzo degno” (“Worthy of Scorn”) and continues to the end of the act through Alfredo’s “Ah si! che feci!” (“What Have I Done?), Violetta’s “Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo core” (“Alfredo, Alfredo, From This Heart”), and all of the onlookers’ comments. For a few different reasons, it requires a lot of discipline to portray contrasting emotions through this long sequence, with only the modest tempo flexibility typical of nineteenth-century music but without any fundamental change in the beating pattern. If the conductor trusts Verdi, however, this consistency lends a unity to the whole and produces a tremendous cumulative impact. Beyond the power of the finale’s relentlessly growing intensity, Verdi’s attention to emotional detail should be audible in his writing for the three principals in this scene. They have similar musical lines, differentiated in large measure by articulation. Violetta’s music is written almost entirely legato, in long lines of connected notes. Germont has some staccato marks, indicating that the syllables should be clipped and disconnected. Probably to suggest sobbing and remorse after his outburst, Alfredo has a great many notes of short duration and more staccato marks over his notes than Germont has. In sum, this Act II finale is a model of its type, masterfully portraying a complex tapestry of emotion. jazz celebration Indiana Jazz Legends: Featuring: Dave Stryker, guitar Kevin Anker, organ Gayle King, vocals Wayne Wallace, trombone Hoagy, Wes, and J.J.

The hardest part for modern audiences to swallow may be the success Germont has in bullying his son and, even more, Violetta. However, prior to World War I, conventions were very different from today. If we imagine Germont as a member of a strict religious community, we can perhaps come closer to understanding how his argument is possible and see that the story is rooted in truth. The opera’s greatest truths—love, loss, and unintended consequences—are timeless, of course. Great music, by speaking directly to our hearts and even our guts in addition to our brains, can lift a story’s characters out of their specific place and time and make them as real as our neighbors. Program Notes “Giuseppe Verdi, La Traviata, and the Censors” by Matthew Leone Many factors can contribute to the shaping of an opera—availability of personnel, production costs, and the aesthetic or dramatic intentions of the composer, librettist, or stage director. So can censorship, both government sponsored and culturally enforced. In Giuseppe Verdi’s time, much like our own, sensitive topics and subject matter had to be handled carefully, or avoided altogether. And out of all of Verdi’s operas, few drew the wrath of censors as greatly as La Traviata. In the 1850s, this work challenged conventional notions of sexuality and morality, especially in depicting Violetta, a courtesan and lover of the noble Alfredo, as a sympathetic protagonist. In Italy and abroad, La Traviata underwent considerable changes to conform to censorial and cultural standards of decency, and it demonstrates how an opera can reflect cultural concerns of a time and place, not just because of the topics it depicts, but because of what topics were criticized and censored. By the time Giuseppe Verdi began work on La Traviata in early 1853, he was well acquainted with the censors in Austrian-controlled Venice, where the opera was to premiere. Less than two years earlier, he had won a hard-fought victory over the city’s authorities regarding the “repellent immorality” of Rigoletto. By contrast, La Traviata passed through the censorial offices relatively unscathed. Aside from changing the title from Amore e morte (“Love and Death”) to La Traviata (“The Fallen Woman”), the setting was changed from contemporary Paris to the early 1700s. The specific reasons for these changes still remain somewhat unclear, but for the most part, Verdi’s dramatic structure and characterizations were unchanged. When the opera traveled for productions in Naples and Rome, however, the censors of both cities proved far stricter. For the Neapolitan production, Violetta and Alfredo were forbidden to be depicted as living together, unwed, in Act II; instead, Violetta was simply portrayed as a visitor. Furthermore, the Neapolitan version downplayed Violetta’s past life as a courtesan, as Alfredo’s father rejects her not because of her sexual immorality, but because of her lower social status. In Rome, religious authorities also forced Verdi to alter many verses and remove the overtly sexual aspects of Violetta’s character. Verdi later lamented that the censors had “spoiled the sense of the drama” by making Violetta “pure and innocent.” Similarly, in London and New York, censors and others expressed disdain for Violetta’s adulterous relationship with Alfredo. In London, the Examiner of Plays made small but significant changes; for instance, in Act II, Alfredo throws Violetta’s picture at her instead of a bag of money, which would have implied prostitution. Critics also weighed in, as one reviewer for The Times claimed that Verdi’s opera “should never have been exhibited on any stage,” and warned families not to take part in La Traviata’s portrayal of “the worst types of Parisian vice.” It was also problematic that Verdi portrayed Violetta, the “wretched girl,” not as a villain, but as “the heroine for whom our sympathies are aroused.” The most extreme censorship of Verdi’s opera, however, came from an artistic director at New York’s Brooklyn Academy; he simply banned the opera altogether, having become “exercised concerning the morality of [La Traviata’s] performance.” In many ways, the various censorships of La Traviata potentially signify more than just concerns over offending audiences. In Verdi’s era, prostitution, unmarried cohabitation, and sex out of wedlock were major subjects of debate. For censors and other arbiters of morality, romantic relations outside of marriage were targets for criticism, as they conflicted with their standards of monogamous marriage and familial fidelity. Sexual promiscuity also had physical consequences, as prostitution and adultery were viewed as major contributors to venereal disease and other maladies. Perhaps, then, officials and critics censored La Traviata’s sexual story elements mainly because they represented, in their eyes, real-world threats to societal order. Whatever their motivation, the plot and characters of Verdi’s opera certainly caused considerable anxiety in the 1850s. Nevertheless, by exploring works like La Traviata, we can ultimately learn much about a culture’s concerns and values, not only from what the work portrays, but in how it was condemned. Artistic Staff Conductor Joseph Rescigno has conducted for more than 50 companies on four continents. Since 1981, he has served as artistic advisor and principal conductor of the Florentine Opera Company of Milwaukee, where he has conducted some of the company’s most challenging repertory. He also has been music director of La Musica Lirica, a summer program for singers in Northern Italy, since 2005. And he served as artistic director of Metropolitan Orchestra of Greater Montreal, Quebec, for four seasons. In his permanent and guest engagements, Rescigno traverses the repertory from new works like Minoru Miki’s Jōruri and Don Davis’s Río de Sangre (both world premieres under his baton) to rarities like Rossini’s 1816 La Gazzetta. He also champions neglected contemporary works like Barber’s Vanessa while conducting a broad swath of operas from the standard literature. This includes Mozart’s seminal pieces; works from Italian composers like Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, and Puccini; romantic French operas of Bizet, Gounod, and Saint-Saëns; and works from the German school, particularly by Wagner and Richard Strauss. In addition, Rescigno has conducted masterworks of the choral literature as well as symphonies and concertos from the baroque to the contemporary—sometimes from the keyboard in works from earlier eras. As a guest artist, Rescigno has conducted the New York City Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Hungarian State Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Seattle Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Vancouver Opera, Teatro Bellini, l’Opéra de Marseille, and l’Opéra de Montréal, among others. The symphony orchestras he has conducted include the Montreal Symphony and the Milwaukee Symphony, in both regular subscription series and opera productions. He won Quebec’s Prix Opus for a program of all five Beethoven piano concertos with Anton Kuerti and the Metropolitan Orchestra of Greater Montreal. Rescigno’s recordings include the aforementioned world premieres, Río de Sangre (for Albany Records) and Jōruri (for Toei Video Disk). He recorded two solo operatic anthologies for Analekta of Canada featuring Lyne Fortin (Mozart) and Diana Soviero (the highly regarded Verismo). Also for Analekta, he conducted three symphonic albums with works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Mendelssohn. This native New Yorker comes from a long line of musicians on both sides of his family. He trained as a pianist and has been studying and performing music since childhood. His uncle was the prominent conductor Nicola Rescigno, a founder of both the Dallas Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago. He holds a Master of Music degree from Manhattan School of Music and studied with distinguished teachers and composers in the United States and Europe. Rescigno further apprenticed with eminent conductors and has since been privileged to collaborate with prominent musicians of three generations. A born teacher, Rescigno derives tremendous gratification from working with young musicians in student orchestras and singers in master classes. Multi-lingual, he readily gives lively and informative talks before performances, illustrating examples on a piano when possible. He is also working on his first book, The View from the Pit: Where Theater Meets Music. (Photo by Christian Steiner.)
