Libretto: The Musical

Decent Essays
Opera is considered one of the most complex art forms. It is a theatrical vocal- instrumental piece consisting of acts and scenes. It incorporates singing, acting, orchestral music, costumes, often ballet as a type of the dance, and scenery (libretto) which is 'the script' of an opera. Libretto can be written by a composer himself, or by poets and novelists. The most common way is an adaptation of the plays, novels or tales, such as libretto by Luigi Ilica and Guiseppe Giacosa which is based on the novel 'Scènes de la vie de bohème' by Louis- Henri Murger. As the title says it is a collection of episodes depicting the bohemian life of young people in the 1830s living in the Latin quarter of Paris. The main plot is a sorrowful love story between

    There is a line in the musical Spamalot where Sir Robin sings to King Arthur; “In any great adventure, if you don 't want to lose ... you won 't succeed on Broadway if you don 't have any Jews!" (PBS, Broadway Musicals). If you can look past the sweeping generalization, Sir Robin’s surprising lyric turns out to be very true about musicals. Historians have recognized that Jewish immigrant culture heavily influenced the content of musical theatre when it was popularized in America during the early twentieth century. But in turn, it was the sociopolitical and racial climate of the 20th century that inspired the creative and thematic content of Jewish productions as well.…

    In “Critical Essay on ‘The Phantom of the Opera’”, author David Kelly debates why Leroux’s book makes a better stage production or movie than a book. While Kelly feels Leroux’s characters lack depth, he advises this depth can be found when the characters are on screen or stage. Although Kelly does acknowledge that Leroux adds character elements he “does not follow through with them” and “the problem is that Leroux’s writing is all elements and no details.” Conversely, Kelly credits Leroux with “other great accomplishment(s) in the novel, his sense of scene.” Leroux’s detail for scenery can be found within the entire book, especially when he writes of the opera house.…

    The night of October 26th, the Concert Chorale, along with several other ensembles, performed at the Meet the Music Department Concert. During this event, the Chorale sang Barso Re, a Hindu piece written by A.R. Rahman and arranged by Ethan Sperry. The song was used in a film titled Guru, and if translated into english, “Barso Re” means “Let It Rain.” A.R. Rahman may also be credited as the writer of the song “Jai Ho,” a Hindu piece heard in the major motion picture, Slumdog Millionaire. While at first glance, the group did a fine job executing the piece effectively, a deeper look at the performance and the music allows certain critiques to be made.…

    “Broadway Melody” by Frederick Seidel is somewhat humorous but realistic impression of elderly people. I can honestly say that I laughed after reading this as well as slightly being moved by the beauty of it towards the end. I find it a unique poem, because of the subject matter and context, as well as the cruelty and the offensiveness of the tone with the speaker. In addition, In my interpretation of the poem the main focal point revolves around the idea of ageism in which everyone in this world will face some day, and how some people may view ageism as a sorrowful way to spend the remainder of their lives, by only enjoying life as much as your physical body allows you. Frederick focuses on the ugliness of age and the decrepitly that comes…

    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…

    Giuseppe Verdi was born in a small village Roncole, Italy in 1813, and passed away in Milan in early 1901. Considered a leading figure in Italian music, he composed twenty-six operas and hundreds of choral works which were, as Julian Budden wrote, “the epitome of Romantic drama and passion.” Unlike German leading Richard Wagner with his highly chromatic melodies and harmonic settings, Verdi liked to portray characters, emotions, and scenarios with relatively simple musical language, such as rounded binary form and easily memorable melodies, creating an accessible geniality for his audiences. Luisa Miller was conceived in 1844, accomplished by the end of September in 1849, and premiered on December 8th 1849 at Teatro San Carlo (Royal…

    The Oxford Dictionary defines a musical as “A play or film in which singing and dancing play an essential part” (Oxford Dictionary, n.d.). In contemporary society, musicals can be seen to fit into two distinct categories: theatrical and motion picture. The notion of a theatrical musical has descended from the use of music and dance on stage in ancient Greece, 5th century BCE. However, it was during the depression that musicals hit the mainstream and the climax of their popularity as people would attend to escape the reality of their own lives. Today, musicals can be seen to have a place in cinemas, theatres and even schools and are a popular method of story-telling.…

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is an interesting musical, in that it is a musical that is markedly different from most of Sondheim's other works. "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" is a good example of a silly song that Sondheim wrote without any particular reason, other than for the audience's amusement. Though the song does add humor, it is not necessary to the musical, overall, and it would likely be just as good without it. Its melody is memorable enough, but it does not contain any truly revolutionary musical compositions like some other Sondheim musicals do. Of course, it must be taken into account that Sondheim was still discovering his style of writing and composing when he wrote such musicals as this and Anyone…

    April 29th 1996, Broadway’s Nederland theatre is sold out to capacity and the audience is gritting their teeth with excitement, but an overture is nowhere to be heard, the curtains are missing and the haphazardly placed lighting rigs have not yet dimmed. All at once, the stage erupts with cast members running in-between and out of the industrial themed set, a strum of a guitar is heard and a critically acclaimed overnight sensation is born in the image of Jonathon Larson. Adapted from the popular opera La Bohème, Rent the musical was created in the hopes of representing the minute bohemian culture of New York City at the end of the 20 century who were confronted with impoverishment, HIV and homosexuality. Going against traditional musical theatre…
