Don Carlos, Ballet de la Reine: Study score

By Giuseppe Verdi

Book Overview

Verdi's operas are most often represented in the concert hall today by their overtures or 'sinfonias' with very good reason. A number of them are symphonic gems in their own right. The operas he composed for the Paris stage give us another view of his orchestral virtuosity with their sumptuous ballet scores. The Ballet de la Reine (La Peregrina) was given its premiere with the world premiere of the opera Don Carlos itself in Paris by the Th tre Imp rial de l'Op ra in the Salle Le Peletier in March 11, 1867 under the baton of Fran ois George-Hainl. The ballet, which was staged during Act III, was originally choreographed by Lucien Petipa, the brother of the renowned Marius Petipa. This is a newly edited and engraved score prepared by Clark McAlister (originally issued using the pseudonym Howard K. Wolf) in consultation with all of the available authoritative manuscript and printed sources.

Not for the Globalization Protesters

Great intro to Global Marketplace. Of course, by now many examples and data provided in the book are somewhat outdated, but consider it a reference. The rest you can look up on the Internet. Actually, I really enjoyed the book and the course. Probably, the reason was that one of the co-authors was teaching it. Anyway, it's a great book and a nice reading.
