Diplomacy and the Aristocracy as Patrons of Music and Theatre in the Europe of the Ancien Régime
This volume explores the dense networks created by diplomatic relationships between European courts and aristocratic households in the early modern age, with the emphasis on celebratory events and the circulation of theatrical plots and practitioners promoted by political and diplomatic connections. The offices of plenipotentiary ministers were often outposts providing useful information about cultural life in foreign countries. Sometimes the artistic strategies defined through the exchanges of couriers were destined to leave a legacy in the history of arts, especially of music and theatre. Ministers favored or promoted careers, described or made pieces of repertoire available to new audiences, and even supported practitioners in their difficult travels by planning profitable tours. They stood behind extraordinary artists and protected many stage performers with their authority, while carefully observing and transmitting precious information about the cultural and musical life of the countries where they resided.
Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe
This volume is dedicated to "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", especially to the production of this music-dramatic genre at the courts on the Iberian Peninsula, in Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire where it was an integral part of court ceremonials and a privileged ritual of repraesentatio maiestatis. The 16 studies on patrons and artists, exceptional events and local traditions, reveal highly interesting material for the research on these up to now largely neglected genre. Any approach to these works full of metaphors, symbols and allusions has to take into account the context of the celebration and the resulting multiplicity of aspects: choice of themes, dramaturgical forms, textual and musical structures, vocal and instrumental ensembles, and the various options regarding the stage apparatus. "Serenata and Festa Teatrale in 18th Century Europe", edited by Iskrena Yordanova (Lisbon) and Paologiovanni Maione (Naples), inaugurates the series "Cadernos de Queluz", a subseries of "Specula Spectacula" by Don Juan Archiv Wien.
Gender and Diplomacy
The book series "Diplomatica" of the Don Juan Archiv Wien researches cultural aspects of diplomacy and diplomatic history up to the nineteenth century. This second volume of the series features the proceedings of the Don Juan Archiv's symposium organized in March 2016 in cooperation with the University of Vienna and Stvdivm fÆsvlancm to discuss the topic of gender from a diplomatic-historical perspective, addressing questions of where women and men were positioned in the diplomacy of the early modern world. Gender might not always be the first topic that comes to mind when discussing international relations, but it has a considerable bearing on diplomatic issues. Scholars have not left this...
Operatic Pasticcios in 18th-Century Europe
In Early Modern times, techniques of assembling, compiling and arranging pre-existing material were part of the established working methods in many arts. In the world of 18th-century opera, such practices ensured that operas could become a commercial success because the substitution or compilation of arias fitting the singer's abilities proved the best recipe for fulfilling the expectations of audiences. Known as »pasticcios« since the 18th-century, these operas have long been considered inferior patchwork. The volume collects essays that reconsider the pasticcio, contextualize it, define its preconditions, look at its material aspects and uncover its aesthetical principles.
Sigismund Neukomm in Brazil
On the "Rio Don-Giovanni-Day", 20 September 2021, a concert is dedicated to the works of Sigismund Neukomm composed in and for Brazil. The programme also includes a composition by the Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia (Rio 1767–1858), highly esteemed by Neukomm and occasionally described as "the Brazilian Mozart". He conducted the first performance of Mozart's Requiem with Neukomm's "Libera me" in the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Parto on 19 December 1819. The concert is a cooperation of Don Juan Archiv Wien with partners in Austria, Portugal, and Brazil: the Mozarteum University Salzburg, Divino Sospiro – Centro de Estudos Musicais Setecentistas de Portugal, and Musica Brasilis. Accordingly, the music will be performed in four locations: Vienna, Salzburg, Queluz/Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro. While the partnering institutions' concerts with commentaries are recorded especially for this occasion, the performances in Vienna will be broadcast live.
Tanto ella assume novitate al fianco
Assente numa abordagem interdisciplinar, este volume fornece uma perspectiva plurifacetada sobre um período particularmente importante da constituição e recomposição da geografia artístico-cultural e política europeia, na transição do século XVIII para o século XIX. Elege como foco de análise as relações entre Lisboa e Turim e a sua exemplaridade no âmbito das formas de sociabilidade e circulação de objectos, saberes, gostos, estilos de governo e políticas públicas, sobre as quais se construiu o panorama geopolítico europeu e mesmo a sua projecção nos impérios. Sendo múltiplas as abordagens ao tema em apreço, o que as une é uma concepção alargada de cultura e história cultural, que vai da cultura visual à cultura científica, da cultura material à cultura política. As ligações estabelecem-se na infraestrutura das sensibilidades e na transferência dos gostos e dos habitus.
Göttinger Händel-Beiträge, Band 23
Die Göttinger Händel-Beiträge (GHB) erscheinen als Jahrbuch und werden im Auftrag der Göttinger Händel-Gesellschaft e.V. herausgegeben von Laurenz Lütteken und Wolfgang Sandberger. Mit der Rodelinde-Pioniertat von Oskar Hagen rückt 1920 bei den ersten Göttinger Händel-Festspielen die Oper in den Mittelpunkt. Das Symposium zum hundertjährigen Jubiläum widmete sich daher dem Thema "Oper als Geschäft", von der Wechselwirkung zwischen ästhetischem Urteil und Kommerz über die kapitalistischen Betriebsstrukturen und die in den Libretti umgesetzten Inhalte bis hin zum teuersten Aspekt der Unternehmung Oper, den Sängerinnen und Sängern. Der Band XXIII enthält alle Vorträge des Symposiums sowie den Festvortrag von Wolfgang Sandberger, der anlässlich des Jubiläums den Kontinuitäten und Brüchen in der Festspielgeschichte nachgeht. Der Band wird wie stets ergänzt um die Bibliografie zum Händel-Schrifttum und die Mitteilungen der Göttinger Händel-Gesellschaft e.V.
La Vienna di Metastasio (1730–1782)
Il volume ricostruisce le reti sociali ed epistolari che Metastasio sviluppa da Vienna in dialogo con l'Europa tra il 1730, anno del suo arrivo alla corte di Carlo VI, e la morte nel 1782. I contributi ripercorrono i momenti più significativi dell'impegno letterario, musicale, teatrale e artistico di Metastasio, mettendo in rilievo i suoi rapporti con interpreti e figure della società viennese e con interlocutori che, da altre capitali europee, corrispondono con lui per via epistolare. Dalla duplice prospettiva del grande drammaturgo immerso nei cerimoniali di corte e dell'intellettuale che rilegge la lezione antica alla luce della sensibilità moderna, osservando i tanti spostamenti di estetiche e poetiche del secolo, emerge il profilo di un acuto interprete della sua epoca e insieme di un autore a cui si addice la categoria atemporale del classico.

Já raiou a Liberdade
A vida de Dom Pedro I ganha uma nova abordagem em livro sobre a trajetória musical do Imperador, autor do Hino da Independência. Músico talentoso, praticante de diversos instrumentos musicais, compositor, raras são as referências às atividades musicais de D. Pedro I. Esta publicação é fruto de quatro anos de pesquisas sobre o músico D. Pedro I em bibliotecas do Brasil, Portugal, França e Áustria. A autora, a musicista Rosana Lanzelotte, também partiu do resgate das obras musicais do Imperador para elucidar outros aspectos pouco explorados de sua biografia, como o viés constitucionalista. Em um tempo em que o absolutismo predominava e vivendo em uma família igualmente absolutis...
