Una Bella Voce!

Gluck - “O del mio dolce ardor” Teresa Berganza, mezzo-soprano

Happy early birthday to Christoph Willibald von Gluck, born 2 July 1714 in Bavaria: a major reformer of opera in the 18th Century, and otherwise distinguished by sharing the birthday of yours truly (though he had it first, and by some margin, I must admit).

Most every accompanist and vocal student knows “O del mio dolce” as one of Schirmer’s “24,” and one of my biggest pet peeves as a vocal coach and accompanist is when a singer walks into a first rehearsal wanting to take this aria at a ridiculously fast tempo like q = 100 or some such madness–sometimes even having gotten the idea from a voice teacher. It happens all the time.

Today In History

Leontyne Price, world-renowned opera singer, made her historic last performance at the Metropolitan Opera as “Aida” on this date January 3, 1985.

Leontyne was one of the first African Americans to achieve international acclaim on the opera stage.

From 1961 she began a long association with the Metropolitan Opera, where she was the first African American to be a leading performer. She regularly appeared at the world’s major opera houses, the Royal Opera House, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and La Scala, the last at which she was also the first African American to sing a leading role.
