Donizettis Lucrezia Borgia was premiered at Milans Teatro alla Scala on 26
December 1833 and is considered one of the composers most important and
innovative operas of the 1830s. Although, because of censorship issues,
particularly in the south of Italy, it was initially slow to become popular,
by the late 1830s it had become one of the composers most popular operas,
both in Italy and abroad, and remained an essential part of the composers
oeuvre until at least the end of the nineteenth century.
Remarkable for its daring subject matter (with an unconventional, forceful
heroine), it is also renowned for its challenging mixture of the comic and
the tragic, something very unusual at the time and clearly an important
influence on Giuseppe Verdis middle period masterpieces. The present
reduction for voice and piano derives from the critical edition of the score,
recently published in this catalog: is based on Donizettis autograph
manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives in Milan), on the libretto for the
premiere, on several printed editions of voice and piano, and on numerous
additional scores of the period.
It presents for the first time all the numerous additions that the composer
made to the score over the course of ten years: a fascinating record of his
changing music dramatic attitudes during this period. There is also a
synthetic historical reconstruction of the genesis of the opera and of the
description of the Sources as well as a selection of most interest to singers
of Critical Commentary Notes.
