George Frideric Handel

George Frideric Handel (German: Georg Friedrich Händel; pronounced [ˈhɛndəl]) (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-English Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios, and concertos. Handel was born in Germany in the same year as JS Bach and Domenico Scarlatti. He received critical musical training in Italy before settling in London and becoming a naturalised British subject.[1] His works include Messiah, Water Music, and Music for the Royal Fireworks. He was strongly influenced by the techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the English composer Henry Purcell. Handel's music was well-known to many composers, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Цитата:
Tamerlano (Tamerlane, HWV 18) is an opera in three acts written for the Royal Academy of Music (1719), with music by George Frideric Handel to an Italian text by Nicola Francesco Haym, adapted from Agostin Piovene's Tamerlano together with another libretto entitled Bajazet after Nicolas Pradon's Tamerlan, ou La Mort de Bajazet.

One of Handel's major works, he composed it in the space of 20 days in July 1724, in a year in which two more great operas were composed by him: Giulio Cesare and Rodelinda. Eve Meyer has noted how the role of Bajazet was one of the first major tenor roles in opera, as well as the place of the opera in the contemporary fashion for Turkish culture (turquerie).

Performance history

It was first performed at the King's Theatre, London on 31 October 1724, around the time the annual performance of Nicholas Rowe's Tamerlane plays (4-5 November). There were 12 performances and it was repeated on 13 November 1731. The opera then received a production in Hamburg with the recitative in German and the arias in Italian.[2] The first modern production was in Karlsruhe on 7 September 1924. Amongst recent productions, it appeared in the repertory of the Washington National Opera in 2008 and the Los Angeles Opera in November 2009; both productions featured tenor Placido Domingo, who is also the general director of both companies.

Цитата:
Либретто Н.Ф. Хайма.
Действие происходит в Вифинии в 1403 году. Татарский хан Тамерлан влюбился в Астерию, дочь пленённого им турецкого эмира Баязета, и решил оставить свою невесту, трапезундскую принцессу Ирену. Ирена, любящая хана, страдает. Тамерлан предлагает греческому князю Андроникосу взять в жёны Ирену, не подозревая, что Андроникос любит Астерию, отвечающую ему взаимностью. Узнав правду об их любви, хан намерен жестоко наказать Астерию и князя. Баязет, переживающий за дочь, решает покончить с собой и принимает яд. Потрясённый смертью эмира, Тамерлан смягчается и отпускает влюблённых, а сам возвращается к Ирене
