Italian librettos were translated into German owing to the growing popularity of opera in Germany during the last decade of the 18th century; contemporary to Mozarts death in 1791. Mozart immediately accepted at least the title under which on of his works would become known in the German-speaking countries: writing home on 3 October 1790 he reported on Tuesday the theatrical company of the elector of Mainz are performing my Don Juan. German communities variously received Mozarts operas; the battle between the aristocratic and bourgeois audiences raged to and fro. When Don Juan played for the first time in the Frankfurt theater it was deemed suitable for the general public but not for its educated section. Yet the critics could all concede of Mozarts popularity and that the subject matter turned the heads of the public. This fine well-preserved dual text is an early and complete keyboard transcription of the opera. It gives Lorenzo da Ponte's original Italian with the German translation by Schröder underneath. Excellent piece of music history and staple of the standard operatic repertoire. Breitkopf & Härtel hardcover

1863100670<p>Boston: Transcript Job Printing Office 1863. 1863. Very good. - An original 10-3/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide broadsheet announcement for the Grau Italian Opera Company's performances of "Norma" "Les Noces de Jeannette" "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with a 2-7/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide tipped-on overlay advertising the following week's performances of "I Puritani" and a performance of "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" several featuring the Opera Soprano Madame Lorini in the title roles. The broadsheet advertises the Friday February 27 performances of "Norma" and "Les Noces de Jeannette" and the following Saturday & Sunday's performances of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with the Following week's Monday performance of "I Puritani" and the Tuesday performance of "La Juive" printed on the recto of the overlay tipped on over the Saturday program with that Sunday's "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" advertised on the verso of the overlay. The Broadside is dated "Sunday Evening March 1 1863 under the announcements of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia". There is some minor foxing and darkening and the broadsheet is mounted from the verso onto slightly larger heavy cream paper. Very good.</p><p>The Brau Italian Opera Company began a six week engagement at the Boston Academy of Music on February 9th. This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc.</p><p>The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training."</p> [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.
