Madame Butterfly 1915 Mary Pickford Part I lost silent film
Mary Pickford played Cho-Cho in the earlier production and irked director Sydney Olcott by refusing to act oriental. Olcott was so upset that he walked off the set, but Pickford was Americas Sweetheart and nobody told her what to do; she simply took over directing duties until Olcott returned. The silent Madame Butterfly is a rare and fascinating look at Japan through western eyes during the early years of Hollywood. Look for actors with exceedingly large noses in key Japanese roles.

Hina Spani, "Tu! tu! piccolo Iddio!", Puccini: Madama Butterfly (HMV, 1929)
The great Argentinian soprano Hina Spani (1896-1969) in Cio-Cio-San's death scene, "Tu! tu! piccolo Iddio!", from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. The recording was made for HMV in 1929. She was accompanied by the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano, conducted by Carlo Sabajno. The following biographical notes on Spani come from "Andrea's Subito-Cantabile: A Site for Collectors of the Great Singers of the Past" (www.cantabile-subito.de): "Spani's real name was Higinia Tunon. She started to take singing lessons at the age of eight and gave her first public concert in Cordoba at the age of 12. Her first teacher was Amanda Campodonico in Buenos Aires. She left for Italy to continue her studies with Vittorio Mortatti in Milan. She made her début as Anna in Catalani's Loreley at La Scala in 1915. Soon after she appeared at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires as Micaela, Nedda and Ines in Meyerbeer's L'Africana. World War I disrupted her career but she gave many recitals in which she often sang German Lied repertoire. This preference for German music continued to the end of her career. In 1919 she returned to Italy and appeared in various opera houses. She sang her first Elsa in Wagner's Lohengrin in the same year, this being one of her most famous roles. She also appeared as Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, as Maddalena, Desdemona, Mimì, Marina, Sieglinde, Santuzza and Wally. In 1924 she added Aida, Amelia and Giulietta (Zandonai).

Emmy Destinn sings "It is Almost Midnight" (in German) from Tchaikovsky's Pique Dame. 1915
Emmy Destinn (1878-1930) was born in Prague. Her debut was in Berlin in 1898, at the tender age of 19, as Santuzza. Her strong and powerful voice attracted immediate attention, and in 1906 Richard Strauss chose her to create the title role in Salome. In addition to being a gifted singer, she was renowned as a passionate and convincing tragedian. International acclaim followed, and she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera as Aida in 1908. She went on to sing over 300 performances at the Met, in operas as wide-ranging as Cavalleria Rusticana, Madama Butterfly, La Wally I Pagliacci, Die Meistersinger, The Bartered Bride, Falstaff, La Gioconda Tosca, Lohengrin, Ballo in Maschera, and Il Trovatore. She retired in 1927 and died in Czechoslovakia in 1930. YOU CAN FOLLOW MY BLOG AT: GREATOPERASINGERS.BLOGSPOT.COM

My Choice - André Rieu: Humming Chorus (Puccini)
Cute babies compliment this famous chorus, Coro a bocca chiusa ("Humming Chorus"). In this off-stage chorus they hum a wordless, melancholy tune and it's from the Opera Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini. It is played by André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra. Butterfly, her child and Suzuki begin the long wait for Pinkerton to come. Night falls. Suzuki and the baby are soon asleep, but Butterfly keeps her vigil. The Humming Chorus ends and morning light appears. Madama Butterfly (Madame Butterfly) is an opera in three acts (originally two acts) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Puccini based his opera in part on the short story "Madame Butterfly" (1898) by John Luther Long, which was dramatized by David Belasco. Puccini also based it on the novel Madame Chrysanthème (1887) by Pierre Loti. According to one scholar, the opera was based on events that actually occurred in Nagasaki in the early 1890s. Between 1915 and 1920, Japan's best-known opera singer Tamaki Miura won international fame for her performances as Cio-Cio San. Her statue, along with that of Puccini, can be found in the Glover Garden in Nagasaki, the city where the opera is set. Butterfly is a staple of the standard operatic repertoire for companies around the world and it ranks as Number 8 in the Operabase list of the most-performed operas worldwide. Music is copyrighted by its corresponding owners. No infringement of copyright is meant and if it does ...

Giuseppe de Luca, "Ambo nati in questa valle", Donizetti: Linda di Chamounix (rec. 1907)
The great Italian baritone Giuseppe de Luca (1876-1950) in Antonio's aria "Ambo nati in questa valle" from Act 1 of Donizetti's Linda di Chamounix. The recording was made in 1907 for Italian Fonotipia. The following biographical notes come from Wikipedia: "De Luca was born in Rome, the son of a blacksmith, and sang in church choirs as a boy. After his voice broke, a wealthy patron paid for him to have singing lessons at the Rome Conservatory, where he studied with two renowned pedagogues, Venceslao Persichini (who also taught De Luca's fellow baritone stars Mattia Battistini and Titta Ruffo) and Antonio Cotogni. He made his operatic debut at Piacenza in 1897, singing Valentin in Gounod's Faust. His debut proved a success and he was invited to sing at a string of more important venues. He appeared at Italy's foremost opera house, La Scala, Milan, from 1902 to 1910, and made his London debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1907. Subsequently, De Luca moved to America where he became a leading baritone at the Metropolitan Opera for 20 years, from 1915 to 1935. (He returned briefly to the Met in 1939-1940.) His first appearance at that house was on November 25, 1915, as Figaro in The Barber of Seville with Frieda Hempel as Rosina and Giacomo Damacco as Count Almaviva, with Gaetano Bavagnoli conducting. After his retirement, he taught voice at the Juilliard School. He died in New York at the age of 73. De Luca is notable for creating two important Puccini roles ...

Là ci darem la mano - Antonio Scotti & Geraldine Farrar (1909)
Don Giovanni's villa. Don Giovanni is immediately attracted to Zerlina, and he immediately begins his seductive arts: "Là ci darem la mano" — "There we will entwine our hands"... The two voices work well together, too... neither dominates, at least in the recording... Geraldine Farrar (1882-1967) was not only a champagne glass smashing opera star, she made more than 200 recordings and appeared in 14 silent films. The first media diva claimed headlines in newspapers, graced countless covers of magazines, and shared her life story in two autobiographies. During her 16-season reign at the Metropolitan Opera, Farrar commanded higher fees and appeared in more new productions than any other leading soprano. She sang 671 performances of 34 roles in 29 operas, a record matched by no soprano in the nine decades since Farrar's retirement. Before arriving at the Met on the opening night of the 1906 season, Farrar made headlines in Berlin, Monte Carlo, Munich, Stockholm, Paris, and Warsaw. She appeared in the first Met performance of Puccini's Madama Butterfly in 1907 and remained a member of the company until her retirement in 1922 at the age of 40. Her performances at the Met included 95 appearances as Madama Butterfly and 58 as Carmen in 16 seasons. The title role in Puccini's Tosca, which she had added to her repertoire in 1909, was another one of her favorite Met parts. Physical glamour, vocal appeal, and star temperament guaranteed Farrar acclaim few prime donne have enjoyed ...

Oh Mio Babbino Caro
O mio babbino caro" ("Oh My Beloved Father") is a soprano aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi (1918), by Giacomo Puccini, to a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It is sung by Lauretta after tensions between her father Schicchi and the family of Rinuccio, the boy she loves, have reached a breaking point that threatens to separate her from Rinuccio. It provides a contrasting interlude expressing lyrical simplicity and single-hearted love in the atmosphere of hypocrisy, jealousy, double-dealing and feuding in medieval Florence of Puccini's only comedy, and it provides the only set-piece in the through-composed opera. Florence Easton as Lauretta at the world premiere of Gianni Schicchi, 14 December 1918.The aria was first performed at the premiere of Gianni Schicci on 14 December 1918 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York by the popular Victorian English soprano Florence Easton. It has been sung subsequently by many sopranos. Dame Joan Hammond won a Gold Record in 1969 for 1 million sold copies of this aria.[1] The aria is frequently performed in concerts and as an encore in recitals by many popular and crossover singers; it is used in films and several bands cover the aria in their own style. Madama Butterfly (Madame Butterfly) is an opera in three acts (originally two acts) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. The libretto of the opera is based in part on the short story "Madame Butterfly" (1898) by John Luther Long, which was ...

Hina Spani, Two songs by Argentinian composers (HMV, 1930)
The great Argentinian soprano Hina Spani (1896-1969) in two songs by Argentinian composers, "Canción del carretero" (Carlos Buchardo), followed by Dia de fiesta (Floro Ugarte). The recordings were made for HMV in 1930. She was accompanied by a double quintet conducted by Gino Nastrucci. The following biographical notes on Spani come from "Andrea's Subito-Cantabile: A Site for Collectors of the Great Singers of the Past" (www.cantabile-subito.de): "Spani's real name was Higinia Tunon.

KUNDIMAN: Amad-Ha (from the 1904 Sarswela 'Minda Mora') - Everlita Rivera
One of the misconceptions and grave errors being perpetuated by individuals with very limited knowledge regarding the nature, development and history of Filipino Kundiman is that the Kundiman is written only in "triple time" (or 3/4 waltz tempo). This famous but almost forgotten Tagalog Kundiman 'Amad-Ha' will debunk this gross misconception and error. Interpreted by the coloratura soprano, Everlita Rivera, 'Amad-Ha' is a Tagalog Kundiman composed in 1904 by Maestro Juan S. Hernandez (b.1882; d. 1946) for the Zarzuela "Minda Mora' written by Severino Reyes (b. 1861; d. 1942). It was first sang and popularized by Maria Evangelista Carpena (b.1886; d.1915), the Nightingale of the Zarzuela and the Philippines' First Woman Recording Artist . Presented in this video are the paintings by famous Filipino painters Carlos Francisco, Fernando Amorsolo, Juan Luna and Simon Saulog. ============================== ABOUT EVERLITA RIVERA Everlita Rivera-David has been highly acclaimed by international music critics for her dramatic stage presence and a sonorous voice even as a teen-age soprano during her stint with the world-touring Baranggay Philippine Dance Company, Everlita Rivera-David decided to pursue a double-major in Music and a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from the University of the Philippines. In the 70's, Manila audiences knew her as one of the rising stars of the hit TV musical show, "Aawitan Kita". She later finished a Bachelors Degree in Music at the ...
