Outline of Turin

edit
 
Flag of Turin
 
Coat of arms of Turin

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Turin:

Turin – important business and cultural centre, and capital city of the Piedmont region in northern Italy. The city has a rich culture and history, being known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, opera houses, piazzas, parks, gardens, theatres, libraries, museums and other venues. Turin is well known for its Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-classical, and Art Nouveau architecture. Many of Turin's public squares, castles, gardens and elegant palazzi such as the Palazzo Madama, were built between the 16th and 18th centuries. The city used to be a major European political center. From 1563, it was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy, then of the Kingdom of Sardinia ruled by the Royal House of Savoy, and the first capital of the unified Italy (the Kingdom of Italy) from 1861 to 1865.[1][2] The city hosts some of Italy's best universities, colleges, academies, lycea and gymnasia, such as the University of Turin, founded in the 15th century, and the Turin Polytechnic. Even though much of its political significance and importance had been lost by World War II, Turin became a major European crossroad for industry, commerce and trade, and is part of the famous "industrial triangle" along with Milan and Genoa. Turin is ranked third in Italy, after Milan and Rome, for economic strength.[3]

Le B-b-r et le n

edit

{template operas}

Le B-b-r et le n (The Blue-White-Red and the Black) is a puppet opera by Italian composer LF. A project of the Centre Culturel Français de Milan in collaboration with Teatro alla Scala, the work was written for the bicentenary of the French Revolution which was commemorated in 1989, and first performed at the Centre Pompidou in Paris on 11 December 1989.

Overview

edit

The title refers to the colours of the French national flag/Tricolour, blue-white-red, and the black symbolizes the colour of the title character's frock. At the centre of the plot is a priest, who is accused by his parishioners and condemned by the authorities for a crime he did not commit.

The original text by Anthony Burgess was adapted into a French-language libretto by Jean-Pierre Carasso. The music, pre-recorded on magnetic tape, accompanies, underlines, and comments the spoken parts, which are given the greatest prominence. The work is scored for soprano (for the sung parts), baritone (for the secco recitatives), harpsichord, chorus and orchestra. The instrumental introduction, orchestral interludes, choruses, solo arias and recitatives are in the style of 18th-century music.

The table top puppets were designed by Andrea and Enrico Baj. They are currently in the permanent collection of the Museo internazionale delle marionette 'Antonio Pasqualino' in Palermo.[1]

Performance history

edit

The production was conceived, directed and performed by the puppeteer Massimo Schuster of Théâtre de l’Arc-en-Terre. The premiere and initial run took place at the Festival d'automne à Paris between 11 and 17 December 1989. The work had over thirty subsequent performances including at the Théâtre de la Minoterie, Marseilles on 2–10 February 1990, and at Teatro dell'Elfo for La Scala in Milan on 20–25 February 1990, with live performance of the recitatives by the baritone Armando Ariostini; at the Museo internazionale delle marionette 'Antonio Pasqualino', Palermo on 2–4 March 1990; at the Centre d'Action Culturelle, Saint-Brieuc on 8–9 March 1990; at the PIF International Puppet Theatre Festival, Zagreb in June 1992; at the Teatro Regio (Piccolo Regio) in Turin on April 30–May 6, 1993; at Sala Casella for the Filarmonica Romana, Rome on October 7–9, 1993.

Synopsis

edit

During the time of the French Revolution, Paul Deslandres, a quiet priest, is accused, partly because of his liberal sympathies, of a dreadful sin. His attempts to prove his innocence are unsuccessful. As the Revolution gains ground, countless turncoats are prepared to embrace the new religion. There is no mercy for the poor priest because he is a member of the clergy and therefore an enemy.

The priest is sent to prison where he meets Paulette, his alleged daughter, who has become a prostitute. He learns from her that her real father is one of the parishioners who accused him, who has now become a standard-bearer of the Revolution. At the trial Paulette proclaims la verité as a further revolutionary principle and denounces her true father. At last the priest is freed and rehabilitated.

Notable arias and excerpts

edit

An orchestral suite was extracted from the score in 1990 and first performed in April, 1990 in Sanremo.[2]
