Students' Annotated Links to Opera


 



http://www.opera.it/

This web site is very comprehensive.  You can find texts about interesting musical issues in Operas.  It is explained in a simply and is easy to understand. One of the most interesting sections provides biographical information about various artists. It includes biographical information as well as pictures and further links for each artist.  This website also features an interactive-quiz, "crazy" opera history and "Opera On The Air". Most importantly, it contains opera news, information on specific operas and has a section on "Operas of the Month."

by Lauren Katzen
 

 This site is particularly interesting because it is widely used in Italy, therefore you can view the site in either Italian or English.  It has pictures and discussions of and about current Operas.  It has Reference sections about Italian Opera.  It contains many interactive things including sing alongs and interactive opera games.  Not only does it contain these fun and entertaining things it also includes very detailed biographies and evaluations of famous opera singers.  Opera singers like Lucia Valentini and Luciano Pavarotti.  It goes into discussion of their personal habits, styles, and preferences.  Also contains pictures of the singers and links to other important Italian opera web sites.  Itís a wonderful page that makes opera fun and interesting to learn about even for those that think they wouldnít like it.

by Beth LittleJohn
 

As the motto for the website says this is the starting point for the opera world.  And it is the best one to start with.  It contains many links and a lot of information to help a person learn about the opera. There are many images, some audio samples and a reference section.  This website even contains an opera sing along link.  This is by far the best starting site for opera and even the only site that may be needed to gain information about the opera.  It contains enough information to make anyone an expert about the opera and contains enough info. for someone to even specialize in knowing about one part of the opera.  I highly recommend this site and found it to be the best site throughout my search.  It is definitely the best site to start with or finish.

by William Richards
 

This is the most complete website that I found in this search.  This site is
broken up into many different parts and it covers almost every aspect of
opera. It has a a sections entitled opera of the month where they provide a
detailed description of the chosen opera. They have an archive of the past
operas of the month so that you can learn all about them.  There is another
section of the page devoted to articles written about operas and various
opinions on them.  You can all get selected texts to operas and song lyrics.
Other feature of the site include a history of opera in general and a
section containing interesting facts about opera.  The final section is a
reference section in which in addition to other things you can learn all
about opera singers of past and present.  I would recommend this site
because it describes opera from all of it's sides and one can learn a lot
from this site.

by Beth Petrillo
 

-This is an extremely good website, because it be viewed in both Italian and English.  Also, the webpage won many awards, which must show that it is very good.  For each opera on the webpage, they provide a synopsis for the story, a list of performers who sung in that particular opera, a list of curious things that are related to that opera, the musicology of that opera, discography and top recordings for that certain opera.  The most intriguing thing they have is OPERA KARAOKE!  For some arias, they provide the music and words for that aria so people who visit that sight can sing along.  This is an excellent sight to learn about operas of Italy.

http://www.opera.it/English/Opere/Barbiere/Trama.html

 This website gives a detailed description of the Italian opera ìIl Barbiere di Siviglia.î It lists the main characters as well as divides the opera in terms of acts, while giving an overview of the story in each part. Although the site does not have pictures, it is a good source to find out information about the opera. It has a link to the homepage, which has information on many other operas, such as Turandot. Its homepage, ìOpera Web,î has other categories that are useful for those interested in learning about operas, the history of operas, and other miscellaneous information. I found this site useful because I learned about the opera that I will be seeing later this week. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the general synopsis of famous operas.

by Lucy Cho Abramson



 Montserrat Caballe : http://www.opera.it/English/Cantanti/Caballe.html

This web site has a tremendous amount of information for anyone who wishes to visit it.  The home page with its many photographs and simple anecdotes has much to offer.  There are places to click on that provide information on operas and the life of Montserrat Caballe.  There is even a fun opera site where one can go to play games and take quizzes on or about opera.  I think this would be a good site for anyone who knows about opera to those people who are just starting out.

by Sheila Kiely


http://www.geocities.com/laosw/Classical_Html/Pavarotti.html

The forst of the three websites was my absolute favorite because I love
Lucciano Pavarotti.  The website was amazing, although all they provided
was a large picture of Pavarotti, and a lengthy biography.  There were no
audio samples of any of his works, so that was a bit dissapointing, but
other than that, the webpage was very well organized, neat and tighty.
This would be a good website for someone who was looking for a brief, yet
explanitory summary on the life of Pavarotti.  I strongly recommend it.

by Regan Shipman



http://www.hnh.com/composer/puccini.htm

The second of the three websites was my least favorite.  It was not
organized in a manner that made much sense, and the visuals that were
offered were borring, and in the form of a cartoon.  The whole point of
the website was to give a biogralhy of Puccini's operas, but all I could
find was the biography.  There was a list of the operas he has composed,
but when I clicked on them they came up as unavailable.  I definitely
would not recommend this website to anyone, for the simple reasons that it
is very unorginized and there is not much information that really could
help anyone out, for the simple reason that there is not that much
information there in the first place.

by Regan Shipman
 

    This website is all about Giacomo Puccini. It is a very good site for
those interested in Puccini's contributions to italian opera. It is a very
complete history on him.  It includes a brief history of his life in
general. In addition it provides a summary and analysis of his operas.
Another benefit of this site are the recommended recordings of Puccini and
the links that help the viewer to locate them.  Like the first site I would
recommend this site only to those with a more serious interest in opera. It
doesn't give a lot of insight on opera in general although Puccini is an
important part of opera. The site demonstrates the influence that he has had
upon the world of opera and this is an important concept for one interested
in opera to learn about.

by Beth Petrillo


http://www.plumsite.com/aevecchio/itop.htm

This site focuses on the history of Italian Opera.  It has links to pages
that go into detail about specific Italian Opera stars.  This information
includes photographs of the artists as well as displays of pertanent
artifacts. The site also contains articles that include tips on writing
operas.  It also has a special section which focuses on the Donizetti
operas.

by Lauren Katzen


http://rick.stanford.edu/opera/main.html

This site lists over 300 opera composers, with complete opera lists and
links. It has pages for a some opera librettists, that also contain
complete opera lists.  There are links to pages containing various kinds
of information on about 250 operas and also contains pictures, background
information, and more on a number of operas. This looks like a very
comprehensive site!

by Lauren Katzen
 

Titled OperaGlass, this site is extremely useful as a base site for
information on libretti, source texts, and synopses.  It also provides an
opera information directory including pages of composers, librettists, and
operas.  The layout of the page is not eye-appealing, but the somewhat
outlined information is helpful when read carefully.

by Jackie Bonds


http://encarta.msn.com/find/concise.asp?ti=06A27000

This was a page describing Pietro Mascagni.  It went into detail about his
life and childhood.  Then went into describing one of his known opera, Cavalle
ria rusticana.  It was composed 1890, a time when opera was used differently
then now.  Back then it was used as an entertainment, entertainment of
courts.  Only the Italian aristocracy saw the operas.  It went on to explain
that opera were mainly popular in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Its popularity of those times was due after the two world wars and the
developments in music.  Cavalleria rusticana was explained to have
exemplified the Italian operatic style of verimo.

by Ariela Fisch


http://encarta.msn.com/index/conciseindex/6B/06B40000.htm?z=1&pg=2&br=1

This page was mainly about Rossini, Gioacchino Antonio.  He was the most
successful operatic composer of his time.  He was know as having the
outstanding comic opera and was on of the three great nineteenth century
exponents of the Bel canto style.  In this it emphasized beauty and melody.
His operas were the last and best in the Italian opera buffa (comic style).
He was known for his liveliness of talent and the light that he brought to
his operas.  He liked using bright melodies the best, to bring the
livelyness.  He felt it was a way for the singers to show their talet and
brilliantness as well as his own.  He felt the singers could bring themselves
with  stunning effects and stirring expression.

by Ariela Fisch


http://www.geocities.com/vienna/opera/2432/index.html

A wonderful site that is catches your eye from the first page.  It contains in-depth synopsis of Rigoletto and Madame Butterfly. The site has pictures of characters and in-depth biographies of writers like Giuseppe Verdi.  Includes pictures of opera writers and opinion on the style and performance of the operas.  It includes pictures and downloads of music.  There is a very long list of links that take you to other fascinating Opera web sites.  They also have a biography and opera history on Giacomo Puccini.   This site also contains a discussion forum where you are able to talk about your opinions on opera.  The only bad thing about the page is it is a little hard to read some of the writing because of it is in calligraphy.  Other than that e buonissimo!

by Beth LittleJohn



http://www.geko.net.au/~anr/pavaroti.htm

 This sight contains an in-depth analysis and essay about Luciano Pavarotti.  It discusses his life and his art.  It is not only a biography on his life but also a synopsis of his work.  It is very well written, and discusses the beauty of his voice.  It contains one picture of Luciano and no links to other pages.  I would recommend this page to someone who is trying to learn a lot about Luciano.  But if you are looking for a site of Opera History, this is not the page for you.  So if you love Luciano Pavarotti, check this out and really get to know and love him.

by Beth LittleJohn


http://w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de/cmp/puccini.html

This is a very interesting page on the life and career of Giacomo Puccini.  It is easy to understand and very informative.  It explains how talented Puccini was, even as a young boy.  It also gives a clear description of all of the operatic pieces that he wrote, the most popular being ìTurandot.î Other pieces covered in this website were Edgar, Manon Lescaut, La boheme, Madam Butterfly and many more.  It wasnít a very colorful site, it was more informative and encyclopedia like, but it does contain a picture of Puccini.  I think it could be a very useful site.

by Barbara Pecirep



http://w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de/cmp/verdi.html

This site was much like the one featured above.  It was a clear description of the life and career of Giuseppe Verdi.  It explained how he progressed career-wise.  It described his style and his work.  Some of the work listed in the web-site are the following;  Oberto, un giorno di regno, Nabucco, I lombardi alla prima crociata, Ernani and many more.  It covered the fact that Verdi worked with a lot of Shakespeareís work, including Macbeth and Falstaff.  It was a very informative site.

by Barbara Pecirep



http://www.orc.soton.ac.uk/ngb/turandot.html
This is a wonderful site to add to my collection here because it is all about Turandotóa famous italian opera.  Not to mention the fact that it was composed by Puccini, whose site I added above.  It is a synopsis of Turandot.  It contains a brief, but clear description of each scene.  It would be a wonderful site for someone who was interested in getting the general story line behind ìTurandot.î  I think it would also be a great site for teaching purposes because it is very clear and to the point.  It isnít a very pretty site because it does not have any pictures or illustrations, though the information is valid.

by Barbara Pecirep


http://www.plumsite.com/aevecchio/itop.htm

 This website has images and links to information about the opera
and mostly the writers.  The website discusses the writers and what they
have done.  It includes pictures of them and also includes a small
biography of the writers.  The webiste includes information about writers
like, Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Bellini, Donizetti, Arturo
Toscanini, La Scala and Licia Albanese.  The site contains a link to
articles and writing on opera by AEV.  The site is a pretty good site
although it is kind of superficial and does not go into indepth information
about the writers.  The articles and writings about the opera are
informative and help a person to understand the italian opera better.  I
would recommend this site to others so that they may get a basic knowledge
about some aspects of the italian opera and be able to understand the opera
better when they go.

 "This web site is designed to present information regarding the
rise of Baroque Opera in Italy. This site is designed to present the
importance of the patrons and the audiences to early Italian opera. The
following pages of this presentation include information on the four major
cities of opera in Italy, a historical trace of the Orpheus myth in opera
from the audience's perspective, a review of the history of a Scarlatti
opera, and a bibliography and collection of relevant links."  It is a great
website to learn about the early italian opera and contains links to other
websites so a person can find out even more information.  I highly
recommend it to other people for an indepth look into the early opera.

by William Richards



www.gvo.it/privati/zsuzsa/rr/index.html
     This site is about Ruggero Raimondi, the Italian opera singer. It is
available in both English and Italian.  Although it is not very informative
about opera itself, it has a lot of informative on Raimondi.  It has audio
samples of his voice and includes a section complete with interviews. The
interview section is the highlight of the site because the interviews are
not only with him but they are also about him.  I would recommend this site
to those people who have a serious interest in opera and learning the
varying degrees of it. For the casual observer it is not as helpful because
it is a very specified site, but still well put together.

by Beth Petrillo



http://www.azopera.com/c_bios/donizetti.php3

 I liked this web site very much.  It is under the Arizona Opera ~ Learn
About Opera.  It told the biography of Gaetano Donizetti.  Donizetti,
Bellini and Rossini were three great masters of an opera style called bel
canto.  Bel canto is written in such a way to show off the human voice to
its "maximum effect."  But not only did it tell us of Donizetti's life, it
also gives other information.  You can look at the Arizona Opera's season
and buy tickets, you can listen to sound clips.  There are other opera
cites offered, along with other biographies on other opera singers.  You
also can learn about opera etiquette, terminology and pronunciation.  It
also has a neat color scheme with black background with white writing down
the center with the infromation on him, but on either side of that is a
red/orange band all the way down with the other information in a gold
writing.  It catches your eye.

by Constance Gilliam



http://www.wnet.org/archive/threetenors/time-content.html

 I thought this site was really neat.  It was a width wise timeline with
pictures and information of the more influential composers beginning with
the birth of opera in 1600 with Dafne by Jacopo Peris.  He was trying to
recreate Greek drama for the wedding of Henry the IV of France to Maria de
Medici.  It goes up to 1991.  It brings up composers like Mozart, Rossini,
Beethoven, Weber, Bellini, Wagner, Verdi, Strauss, Puccini, Stravinsky,
etc....It even mentioned Gershwin and the great American opera, Porgy and
Bess.  It was very general about each opera and the composer, but it put
things in order and you learned a little about a lot.

by Constance Gilliam



http:// www.puccini.it/

 This site was neat too.  It was all about Puccini.  It was in italian and
english so that more people can learn about him.  This site was created by
a goup of people who want to keep the world from forgettig what Puccini
did.  Anyone can join the group, even on the web site.  They had a rare
recording of his voice which was cool to hear.  They had a biography on him
and a catalogue of works, libretti, and music.  They also are constructing
a page for other sites on Puccini.

by Constance Gilliam


http://www.parmaitaly.com/verdik.html

 This site gives a brief but detailed biography of Giuseppe Verdi, a famous Italian opera writer. It is not very long and therefore keeps the readerís attention span. It very briefly explains his childhood, beginning with his interest in music at a very early age. Then, it goes into the important events prior to his first few operas. This site has links to a photo gallery, filled with many pictures taken of Verdi at different stages in his life. It also has a link to a page that contains all of the major events of Giuseppe Verdiís life, listed in chronological order. This page is informative and has interesting links. I would recommend it to anyone who likes brief overviews and pictures.

by Lucy Cho Abramson


http://www.hnh.com/composer/puccini.htm

 This page is dedicated to Giacomo Puccini, another famous Italian opera writer. This site gives a short overview on Giacomo Puccini, and it also explains and gives a brief synopsis on his famous operas, such as ìManon Lescaut,î and La Bohème.î Along with these useful descriptions of the operas, there is a list of recommended recordings. Each recording is labeled which opera it is taken from, and some of these recordings can be listened to from the site. Each of the recordings has a link that leads you to a page with the picture of the cover of the CD from which the track is taken. I would recommend this site because it gives an overview of many of Pucciniís works, as well as a basic description of his life.

by Lucy Cho Abramson



http://www.vanderbilt.edu/htdocs/Blair/Courses/MUSL243/bcitalpg.htm

This informative site focuses on the history of early Italian opera.  As
well as giving an overview of the four major opera cities in Italy, it also
addresses several specific Italian operas, such as Periís Euridice and
Monteverdiís LíOrfeo.  This is a valuable site for those researching Baroque
opera in Italy.  There are also links and a bibliography.  In English.

by Laura Jones


http://www.operacollection.ch/

This site is a collection of various photographs pertaining to Italian
opera.  It is dedicated to Gianni Carpeggiani, a great lover of opera.  The
strength of this site lies in its superb imagery.  There are some captions.
In English, Deutsch and Italiano.

by Laura Jones


http://www.puccini.it/

A site dedicated to the Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini.  It incorporates
visual imagery as well as audio recordings.  This site is in Italiano and
English and is very useful in research about the great opera writer Giacomo
Puccini.

by Laura Jones



 One of the greatest opera composerís of all time is given his respect at a fine web site dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi (http://www.mala.bc.ca/~mcneil/verdi.htm).  At this web site, you can look at sheet music or check out other web sites dedicated to Verdi.  Pictures of the composer are present which gives the visitor to the web site a feel for who this amazing composer was.  I would recommend this web site to anyone who is interested in learning about Giuseppe Verdi who is arguably one of the greatest Italian opera composers of all time.  The web site is a little sloppy, but overall I would say that the information it provides outweighs its presentation.
 If you are in the mood to learn more about a great Italian opera singer, look no further than a web site dedicated to Luciano Pavarotti (http://www.pavarottiinconcert.com/bio.htm).  Although this web site is extremely commercial, there are good pictures and a biography on the Italian singer that makes this web site worth while.  From this web site you can purchase Pavarotti merchandise, find when Pavarotti will perform next or just wander through the photo gallery.  Overall, this is a professional web site that should keep your attention for some time as long as your interested in the great Luciano Pavarotti.
 Gioacchino Rossini, an Italian composer during the Romantic period, has a web site providing information about his storied career.  A picture of Rossini is provided as well as a lengthy bio to provide the reader a good feel for the Italian composer.  One has the option to view other web sites that provide information on people in Rossiniís life that influenced him, like Beethoven and Verdi.  This web site runs thin, but overall I would recommend this site to the web surfer as an initial start in understanding and learning about Gioacchino Rossini.

by Pete Butler



 The first web site that I found interesting was:  www.jpoera.org/.  The web site of J.P. Opera Foundation is established to assist the careers of vocal artists, and to give people the chance to compete in Italian opera music.  The web site allows one to make an appointment to sing and compete.  It has all the information right on the web site.

 The last web site that I found was:  http://www.opera.it/English/maestro.
This is a good web site because it presents interesting musical issues in the Italian operas in an easy to understand way.  It shows information on Verdi and his accomplishments, of the irony and melody in Il Bariere, and it also tells about the first romantic Italian opera, Lucia.  So this web site gives one a lot of easy to comprehend facts about famous operas, Italian opera singers, and composers.

by Rebecca Pisano



http://www.ao.net/~jmo/john/music/operapg.html
-This is also an excellent webpage to learn about operas of Italy.  The only difference with this webpage is itís not as exciting as the first one.  This one gives you a lot of information and there arenít too many graphics to spice it up.  This webpage provides a very detailed synopsis for operas:  Aida, Carmen, Don Giovanni, Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Rigoletto.  For each of the following operas, there are a list of midi files that allows the viewer to listen to the music from that particular opera.  They also provide a list of other websites for opera lovers to look at.

by Kayee Kwok



http://www.thegrand.com
-This webpage is very different from the other webpages.  Instead of showing  the viewers about Italian Opera, this webpage takes a look at another very important aspect of Operas.  The Opera house.  This opera house is called ìThe Grand 1894 Opera House.î  In this webpage, they show you a virtual tour of the opera house, backstage, and also a seating chart.  The virtual tour allows you to get a 360 degree view of the opera house just by moving your mouse.  Although this website doesnít talk much about Italian operas, it is very important to learn about opera houses as well to get a complete understanding of operas.

by Kayee Kwok



http://operabase.com/corpus/operas.html

This page serves as an extremely useful base page for opera in general. It
provides numerous links to biographies of composers and singers, synopses,
libretti, and discographies.  You are able to narrow your search through
site by selecting which composers, operas, or chronological time lines you
would like to know about.  It is a well organized home page; the broader
subjects are accompanied with a detailed outline.  This site also has
recommendations for various related sites.

by Jackie Bonds



http://www.roberto-sacca.com/

This site contains detailed information on singer Roberto Sacca.  When
brought up, the page contains various pictures of the singer; when you
click on a picture, it brings up a table of contents for this site.  It is
very easy to move around this site as the menu brings the reader a step
away from his biography, various interviews, and a list of works he has
been in among other things.  This site also provides links to several
opera data bases.

by Jackie Bonds



http://www.operabase.com/en/

 This is a great website.  Not does this site give you rave reviews
about different shows, but also of the venues the are appearing at.  Its
"performance summary page gives a month-to-month overview of all
information in the database.  You can also search for 50,000 specific shows
and their availability.   There is even a user preferences section that
allows you to set up the website to your liking.  Here, you can chech the
bibliography, give comments, and look at frequently asked questions.  The
best aspect of this website, is its links to other sites.  There are over a
thousand different links to opera resources on the web.  This is the best
website I found and the most efficient.

by David Giuliani



http://www.nd.edu/~italnet/index.html

 The ItalNet Projects Page is an international consortium whose
intention is to make a database of internet resources.  Il Centro di studi
Opera del vocabolario italiano, ARTFL Project, The William and Katherine
Devers Program in Dante Studies, and the Department of Italian Studies are
trying to make all literary and historical materials relating to Italian
studies available on the net.  They are starting a series of different
projects as well to promote Italian studies.  You can contact them at
italnet.1@nd.edu.

by David Giuliani



http://www.encyclopedia.com/printable/09585.html

Encyclopedia.com is a great place for the first timer of opera to head.
This website offers a basic overview of the ins and outs of opera.   They
give definitons, styles,  and a history of opera.  Not to mention, there is
a huge list of all the most popular figures in opera, everything from the
classic to contemporary, from Monteverdi to Menotti.  It is a great website
and I highly suggest it.  It also offers links to other websites and allows
you to look up information on all big names of opera.  Not only performers,
but producers, venues and areas well known for opera.

by David Giuliani



Vincenzo Bellini : http://www.spaceports.com/~bellini/belinindex.html
It would be valuable to visit this site because it gives an extensive biography of Vincenzo Bellini.  In addition to this very helpful information, there are also several places that discuss the operas he has participated in.  Not only does it talk about his role in the operas, but it also gives a synopsis of the operas.  It gives information on three different galleries devoted to Bellini and his associates.  Also, there are numerous photographs of Bellini and scenes from his operas.  I think that this site is very interesting and gives a very detailed description of Belliniís life and his extensive operatic career.  I really enjoyed this web site and I think you will too.

by Sheila Kiely



Giocomo Puccini : http://www.operacollection.ch/

This site focuses on opera in general.  It provides a collection of operas and many, many photographs of famous opera stars.  This provides plenty of visual aids for learning and researching about opera. I found this site particularly interesting because of the heavy usage of pictures. I feel that pictures are extremely helpful in understanding a topic and it helps the viewer to get an idea about what the opera is going to look like now and what it looked like in earlier time periods.

by Sheila Kiely



 In my search I was able to find three web sites about the Italian opera or its composers.  I found a site on a composer named Gian Carlo Menotti.  (www.schirmer.com/composers/menotti/bio.html  )  I like this site because of its thoroughness in the life of Menotti and the part he played in the history of Italian opera.  It was not the most inviting site in appearance but it consisted of a picture of Menotti followed by a great deal of text.  It also contained a few links to other related sites at the bottom.  The page mentioned some of his works as well as his family history and how is family was also involved in the opera.
 The second site I found was, http://www.sfopera.com/bios/bios_a-f/armiliat.htm This site is about a composer named Fabio Armiliato.  It also is made up of mostly text but it has a picture of Armiliato at the top along with a nice picture of a stage.  The text is also in more paragraph form, making it easier to read and follow.  It discusses Armiliato and the San Francisco opera.  It mentions past and present works and even some that are yet to come.  This site contains links to others also.
 The last site is, www.hnh.com/composer/puccini.htm. this is about Giacomo Puccini and the operas that he wrote.  It has a sketch of him at the top and the rest of the page is text of his life and his operas.  It also has a detailed list of recommended recordings on the side of the page.
 I found these three sites to be very informative about the opera and its Italian composers.

by Gina Mader



http://www.europerastudio.org/eng/singers/alaimo.htm

 The first web site I found was more about all the famous Italian opera singers. You are able to
find each singer in alphabetical order and for each one they offer a brief
summary of their biography in alphabetical order. I find it interesting
knowing more about their background history and how they became famous.

by  Leslie du Roure



http://www.islandnet.com/~arton/barcomp.html

The second web site offers more of the history of Italian opera. It also contains the general history and geography not only of Italian Operas but also in other regions in Europe such as Germany, France, England, and Spain. It's certain you will be able to learn a lot about the operas and how they began.

by  Leslie du Roure



http://www.armiliato.com/credits.htm

The third web site was also a site that gives great information on individual biographies on many different opera singers and the history behind opera. I know these three web sites will be useful for anyone interested.
