History of creation and placements
Create Opera on the tragedy of Shakespeare was a long-time desire of Verdi, and by 1846 he became increasingly thinking about Macbeth. Maestro rewrote in prose the story canvas of the future opera and offered Francesco Maria Piava to write poems. They were not just familiar with the librettist, but they understood each other well, having the experience of creating two joint operas by the shoulders. Piava knew the high demanding of the maestro and sometimes for many times rewriting the scene, seeking their compliance with the composer's plan. In September 1846, Verda sends its macbet arrangement to the co-autorator, writing that this tragedy is the greatest of the people created. He asks for Piava to be concise - verses should briefly express what is happening to achieve the greatest effect. Verdi also notes that in the speech of witches he would like to see strange and original nuances that distinguish them from the rest of the heroes.
Verdi entrusted the execution of the title role to one of the best baritons of those years - Felice Varese. The preserved letters indicate how detailed the composer explained the singer not only the nuances of the music, but all the psychological movements of the hero, working with him almost as a director.
If Shakespeare Lady Macbeth is just a catalyst for maligning her husband, then Verda is a direct instigator and equally - a full participant. Its brilliantly discharged party for dramatic soprano is also important as the title.
Macbeth opened a new page in the Italian opera - it was he who was completed by the final transition from the Belkanto era to the era of realism. Many Key Arias composer did not vocal, but spectative with orchestral accompanomate - such is a monologue of Macbeth before the murder of Duncan, such is the scene of Somnambulism of his spouse. It is not by chance that exactly these two scenes of Verdi considered the key in the entire opera. A similar feed speaks of the author's intention to make an emphasis not on music as such, but on the reliability of characters and accurate transmission of the plot.
The premiere took place in the Florentine Theater "La Pergola" on March 14, 1847. The party of Lady Macbeth performed Marianna Barbieri-Nini, it was her second job at the Verdi Premiere - three years earlier she sang the main female party in the "Two Foscari". After the first execution, despite the warm welcome, the opera was criticized by both specialists and the public - as so, not a single decent tenor party and no love intrigue. At that time, both of these elements in the opera were mandatory. However, Verdi ignored this tradition - he was not interested in a love story, but the study of the psychology of power.
That is why before the postulation of 1848 in Naples, he rejected the idea to invite Lady Macbet outstanding singer E. Tadolini - a beautiful woman with a magnificent voice. The composer was needed by the artist, capable of singing so much how much to implement an unpleasant and evil heroine with a deaf, sharp and gloomy chamb. Verdie was looking for a devil, and not an angel. Such was Barbieri-Nini, but not Tadolini.
In the necrologist on the death of Macbeth, his board is called the "fertile period" (The Fertile Seasons); This metaphor in the ancient Celts meant that they were not starved.
The whole of the Pleiad of English historians and politicians began a campaign on the rehabilitation of the King Macbeth, arguing that he unfairly turned into brilliant William Shakespeare
Every thousand years after the birth of the Scottish King of Macbeth (Macbeth), whose name became a symbol of misfortunes and religious prejudices, high-blast Islanders attempted to remove the killer stamp from him. A group of famous historians - headed by John Beatty (John Beatty) from New York City University, who sleeps and sees to declare this year the Year of Macbeth, "convinced 20 deputies of the Scottish Parliament to start a campaign for recognizing his historical merit. They firmly convinced that Shakespeare created an incorrect idea of \u200b\u200bhim as an ambitious and merciless tyrant, who, besides, was "under the heel" of his wife - the notorious Lady Macbeth.
The real Macbeth was not the "killer-butcher and her husband of the Zelokozny Queen," and was the wise ruler of the prosperous United Scotland of the XI century. By the way, he strongly contributed to the spread of Christianity. Shakespeare interpretation of the image of Macbeth - the purest water of the artistic fiction and no more, writes Daily Telegraph.
English historians believe that the legend of Macbeth, which she used Shakespeare in his play was created by Scottish bards. Bards under the cartridge of the clan rival with the Macbet clan, tightened the acts of Macbeth in order to throw the shadow on his whole genus. Is not it?
It is believed that this tragedy of Shakespeare wrote in 1606 wishing to Poland to the then King Yakov (a fan of the theater), the playwright appealed to the plot to the legendary history of Scotland. In the tragedy, the author strongly elevated the nature of the innocently killed bank - ancestor of the ruling monarch from the kind of stearts. Holinsheda Banco was one of the accomplices of Macbeth in the kingubius. Shakespeare - he is the ideal of a man who is faithful to the debt and friends, so that his high moral dignity did from him a bunker for the Tsaruby citizens of Macbeth.
Beyond the lack of genuine facts, Shakespeare enjoys separation from the "antiquity deep" legends. He reads the Chronicles Holinshed (Raphael Holinshed. Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland. 1577). Holinched, in turn, was based on the SCOTORUM HISTORIEE ledge of the Boeation (in the English version - Boys), which were first printed in Paris in 1526.
Macbeth did not kill the king Duncan (King Duncan) in a dream, as written in the play. He could kill his competitor in the struggle for the throne, but this happened in 1040, in the battle of Pitgaveny (Pitgaveny), they write the current exposurers. In turn, Macbeth was killed in the battle with Duncan's son, Malcolm, in 1057. And in fact? Chronicle keeps silence, where Macbeth killed the Scottish king Duncan.
For its part, the poet ignores such facts: after that Macbet is good rules of the country for many 17 years and no one tried to capture his throne while Macbeth performed a semi-annual pilgrimage in Rome. This is evidence that the situation in his kingdom was stable and Macbeth enjoyed respect to the subjects.
In the necrologist on the death of Macbeth, his board is called the "fertile period" (The Fertile Seasons); This metaphor in the ancient Celts meant that they were not starved. "Macbeth quite successfully ruled the country," said Ted Cowan (Ted Cowan), Professor of History from Glasgo University. - Some of the ancient Scottish clans mentioned Macbeth as the last Great Celtic ruler of Scotland. " Professor James Fraser (James Fraser) from Edinburgh University, believes that it is not proven that Macbeth was Tyran, who ruled the kingdom, where he hated him, as written in the play.
Is it worth a gentleman to break a spear? After all, it is well known, the writer is wave at his own discretion to resort to "poetic liberty". Remember the famous "Nail" Duma Father, to which he "hung his novels." The Richelieu "Three Musketeers" is not an outstanding state husband of France, which he really was. Only the insane gaul will take into the head to document duma dummy. However, the legislators of the XIX century models are zealously taucite their amour to the "simple shepherd" from the village of Domremi.
According to the chronicle, the cruelty of Macbeth against Macduff is motivated by the fact that the latter, breaking his duty, began to be demolished with the enemies of the king. In the tragedy McDuff just refused to appear on the holiday. Holinsheda Macbeth personally goes with an army on a dismissed vassal; In the play, he spreads his innocent family with killers. Shakespeare, it seems, he has seen such a retreat from the source, and at the end of the IV Act Ross tells McDiff on the capture of his castle and about the extermination of all his vassals, which, of course, was impossible for hired killers.
In conclusion, a few words, or rather quotes. Augustus Wilhelm Schlegel in his "lectures on dramatic art and literature" is absolutely sure that Shakespeare wanted to portray an ambitious, but a noble husband who is inferior to the devilish claims; All crimes to which he pushes his desire to ensure that the fruits of their first atrocities will not be erased from his way of printing of born heroism.
To see terribly, as the old brave warrior, straightly looked into the face of death, now, of fear of the afterlife, clings to his earthly existence. And yet, despite the disgust that his atrocities inspire, we cannot refuse him in sympathy. Shakespeare wants to show in his drama that the struggle of good and evil in this world is performed by the will of Providence.
In 1840, in his analysis of the comedy Griboyedov, the Great Russian critic Belinsky so determines the two main nature of this tragedy: "Macbeth Shakespeare - the villain, but the villain with soul deep and the mighty, why he, instead of disgust, initiates participation: you see in him, In which the same victory was the opportunity, as well as drops, and which, with a different direction, could be another person. "
And the second: "Macbeth" - one of the most ... The monstrous works of Shakespeare, where ... it was reflected ... all the barbarism of the century in which he lived. "
As far as these statements deeper than the sizes of the Lord from history. Well, continue to rewrite the Bible, Shakespeare, etc. Flag in your hands!
Piece "Macbeth" Shakespeare was written in 1606, three years after the death of Queen Elizabeth. The work based on one of the stories of Scottish history has become a kind of writer's response to the political situation in England.
