Isabella Colbran
He soprano kakaikahi ko Colbrand - ua uhi ʻia ka laulā o kona leo ma kahi o ʻekolu octaves a ma nā papa inoa a pau, ua ʻike ʻia e ke ʻano like ʻole, ka palupalu a me ka nani. He leʻaleʻa mele kona, ʻo ke akamai o ka ʻōlelo a me ka nuance (ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "black nightingale"), ʻike ʻo ia i nā mea huna a pau o bel canto a kaulana ʻo ia no kāna talena hana no ka ʻinoʻino.
Me ka kūleʻa kūikawā, ua hana ka mea mele i nā kiʻi aloha o nā wahine ikaika, ʻoluʻolu, ʻeha nui, e like me Elizabeth of England ("Elizabeth, Queen of England"), Desdemona ("Othello"), Armida ("Armida"), Elchia (" ʻO Mose ma ʻAigupita") , ʻElena ("Ka wahine mai ka Lake"), Hermione ("Hermione"), Zelmira ("Zelmira"), Semiramide ("Semiramide"). Ma waena o nā hana ʻē aʻe i hoʻokani ʻia e ia, hiki ke hoʻomaopopo iā Julia ("The Vestal Virgin"), Donna Anna ("Don Giovanni"), Medea ("Medea in Corinth").
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Isabella Angela Colbran ma ka lā 2 o Pepeluali i ka makahiki 1785 ma Madrid. ʻO ke kaikamahine a kahi mea hoʻokani pila o ka hale Spanish, ua loaʻa iā ia ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa leo maikaʻi, ma Madrid mai F. Pareja, a laila ma Naples mai G. Marinelli a me G. Cresentini. ʻO ka hope i hoʻonani i kona leo. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Colbrand i kāna hana mua i ka makahiki 1801 ma ke kahua ʻaha mele ma Palisa. Eia naʻe, ua kali ʻo ia i nā kūleʻa nui ma ke kahua o nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Italia: mai 1808, ʻo Colbrand kahi mea hoʻokani solo ma nā hale opera o Milan, Venice a me Roma.
Mai ka makahiki 1811, ua lilo ʻo Isabella Colbrand i mea hoʻokani solo ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo San Carlo ma Naples. A laila ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hui mua o ka mea mele kaulana a me ka haku mele hoʻohiki ʻo Gioacchino Rossini. Akā, ua ʻike lāua kekahi i kekahi ma mua, i kekahi lā i ka makahiki 1806 ua ʻae ʻia lāua no ka hīmeni ʻana ma ka Academy of Music of Bologna. Akā he ʻumikūmāhā wale nō ʻo Gioacchino ...
He hālāwai hou i 1815 wale nō. Ua kaulana ʻo Rossini, ua hele mai ʻo Rossini i Naples e hoʻokani i kāna keaka ʻo Elisabeth, Queen of England, kahi e hoʻokō ai ʻo Colbrand i ke poʻo inoa.
Ua pio koke ʻo Rossini. ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha: he mea paʻakikī iā ia, he mea akamai i ka nani, ke pale aku i nā mea hoʻonani o kahi wahine a me kahi mea hana keaka, ka mea a Stendhal i wehewehe ai i kēia mau huaʻōlelo: "He nani o kahi ʻano kūikawā: nā hiʻohiʻona nui, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. mai ke kahua, kiʻekiʻe, ahi, e like me ka wahine Circassian, maka , mop o ka lauoho uliuli-ʻeleʻele. Ua hui pū ʻia kēia mau mea a pau me kahi pāʻani pōʻino puʻuwai. I loko o ke ola o kēia wahine, ʻaʻohe mea i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kekahi mea nona ka hale kūʻai lole, akā i kona wā i hoʻolei ai iā ia iho me kahi lei aliʻi, ua hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia e hoʻāla i ka mahalo ʻole mai ka poʻe i kamaʻilio pū me ia i loko o ke keʻena. … “
Aia ʻo Colbrand i ke kiʻekiʻe o kāna ʻoihana noʻeau a i ka poʻokela o kona nani wahine. Ua mālama ʻia ʻo Isabella e ka impresario kaulana ʻo Barbaia, nona kāna hoaaloha aloha. No ke aha, ua mālama ʻia ʻo ia e ke aliʻi ponoʻī. Akā, mai nā hālāwai mua loa e pili ana i ka hana ma ka hana, ua ulu kona mahalo i ka Gioacchino ʻoliʻoli a nani.
ʻO ka mua o ka opera "Elizabeth, Queen of England" i mālama ʻia ma ʻOkakopa 4, 1815. Eia ka mea a A. Frakcaroli i kākau ai: "He hana koʻikoʻi ia i ka manawa o ka lā inoa o ke Keiki Alii. Ua piha ka hale keaka nui. Ua ʻike ʻia ke ʻano ʻino a me ka ʻino o ke kaua i loko o ke keʻena. Ma waho aʻe o Colbran, ua hīmeni ʻia ʻo Signora Dardanelli e nā tenors kaulana ʻo Andrea Nozari lāua ʻo Manuel Garcia, he mele Sepania i loaʻa kahi kaikamahine liʻiliʻi maikaʻi, ʻo Maria. ʻO kēia kaikamahine, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e ʻōhumu, hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia e hīmeni. ʻO kēia nā leo leo mua o ka mea i koho ʻia e lilo i mea kaulana ʻo Maria Malibran. I ka wā mua, a hiki i ke kani ʻana o ka duet o Nozari lāua ʻo Dardanelli, ua huhū ka poʻe hoʻolohe. Akā, ua hoʻoheheʻe kēia duet i ka hau. A laila, i ka wā i hoʻokani ʻia ai kahi mele liʻiliʻi maikaʻi loa, ʻaʻole hiki i nā Neapolitans hoihoi, expansive, ʻoluʻolu ke kāohi i ko lākou mau manaʻo, poina i ko lākou manaʻoʻiʻo a me ka manaʻo hoʻowahāwahā a hāʻule i loko o kahi ovation kupaianaha.
ʻO ke kuleana o ka mōʻīwahine ʻEnelani ʻo Elizabeth i lilo, e like me nā contemporaries, kekahi o nā hana maikaʻi loa a Colbran. ʻO ia Stendhal, ka mea i aloha ʻole i ka mea mele, ua koi ʻia ʻo ia e ʻoi aku ma mua o ia iho, e hōʻike ana i ka "maʻalahi o kona leo" a me ke kālena o ka "mea hana weliweli nui."
Ua hīmeni ʻo Isabella i ka puka aria i ka hopena - "Nani, ʻuhane hanohano", he mea paʻakikī loa ke hana! Ua ʻōlelo pololei kekahi i kēlā manawa: ua like ka aria me kahi pahu, e wehe ana a hiki iā Isabella ke hōʻike i nā waiwai āpau o kona leo.
ʻAʻole waiwai ʻo Rossini i kēlā manawa, akā hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi i kāna mea aloha ma mua o nā daimana - ʻāpana o nā heroine aloha, i kākau ʻia no Colbrand, ma muli o kona leo a me kona helehelena. Ua hōʻino aku kekahi i ka mea haku mele no ka "kaumaha ʻana i ka hōʻike a me ka hana keaka o nā kūlana no ke ʻano o nā hiʻohiʻona a Colbrand i kālai ʻia," a pēlā i kumakaia iā ia iho. ʻOiaʻiʻo, i kēia manawa ua maopopo loa ʻaʻole kumu ʻole kēia mau ʻōlelo hōʻino: i hoʻoikaika ʻia e kāna "hoa aloha aloha", ua hana ʻo Rossini me ka luhi a me ka manaʻo ʻole.
Hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka opera ʻo Elizabeth, Queen of England, hīmeni ʻo Colbrand iā Desdemona no ka manawa mua ma ka opera hou a Rossini ʻo Otello. Ua kū ʻo ia ma waena o nā mea hana nui: Nozari - Othello, Chichimarra - Iago, David - Rodrigo. ʻO wai ka mea hiki ke pale aku i ke kilokilo o ke kolu o ka hana? He ʻino ka mea nāna i uhaʻi i nā mea a pau, e haehae maoli i ka ʻuhane. A i waena o kēia ʻino - he mokupuni mālie, mālie a nani hoʻi - "The Song of the Willow", a Colbrand i hana ai me ka manaʻo i hoʻopā i ka lehulehu holoʻokoʻa.
I ka wā e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻokani ʻo Colbrand i nā heroines Rossinian he nui: ʻo Armida (ma ka opera o ka inoa hoʻokahi), ʻo Elchia (Moses ma ʻAigupita), ʻo Elena (Lady of the Lake), Hermione a me Zelmira (ma nā keaka o ka inoa hoʻokahi). Ua hoʻokomo pū ʻia kāna repertoire i nā hana soprano ma nā keaka ʻo The Thieving Magpie, Torvaldo a me Dorlisca, Ricciardo a me Zoraida.
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o "Moses in Egypt" ma Malaki 5, 1818 ma Naples, ua kākau ka nūpepa kūloko: "Me he mea lā ʻaʻole i haʻalele ʻo "Elizabeth" a me "Othello" i ka signora Colbran manaʻolana no nā laurels keaka hou, akā i ka hana o ka ʻO Elchia palupalu a hauʻoli ʻole i "Moses" ua hōʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho ma mua o Elizabeth a me Desdemona. He mea pōʻino loa kāna hana ʻana; komo oluolu kona mau leo i ka puuwai a piha i ka hauoli. I ka aria hope loa, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, i kona hōʻike ʻana, i kāna kaha kiʻi a me kona kala, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea nani loa o kā mākou Rossini, ua ʻike nā ʻuhane o ka poʻe hoʻolohe i ka hauʻoli ikaika loa.
No ʻeono makahiki, hui pū ʻo Colbrand lāua ʻo Rossini, a laila kaʻawale hou.
"A laila, i ka manawa o ka Lede o ka Lake," i kākau ai ʻo A. Frakkaroli, "ka mea āna i kākau ai nona, a ʻo ka lehulehu i hoʻohenehene pono ʻole i ka hoʻomaka mua, ua aloha nui ʻo Isabella iā ia. ʻAkahi nō paha i loko o kona ola ʻana i ʻike ai i ka ʻoluʻolu haʻalulu, kahi manaʻo maikaʻi a maʻemaʻe āna i ʻike ʻole ai ma mua, kahi makemake makuahine e hōʻoluʻolu i kēia keiki nui, nāna i hōʻike mua iā ia iho i loko o kahi manawa kaumaha, hoʻolei aku. ka huna huna maʻamau o ka mea hoʻohenehene. A laila, ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole i kūpono ke ola āna i noho ai ma mua, a ua hōʻike ʻo ia i kona mau manaʻo iā ia. ʻO kāna mau ʻōlelo aloha ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hāʻawi ʻo Gioacchino i kahi hauʻoli nui i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua, no ka mea, ma hope o nā ʻōlelo a kona makuahine i ʻōlelo ai iā ia i ka wā kamaliʻi, lohe ʻo ia mai nā wahine mai nā huaʻōlelo aloha maʻamau e hōʻike ana i ka ʻimi naʻau me ka wikiwiki a like mae koke i ke kuko. Ua hoʻomakaʻo Isabella lāuaʻo Gioacchino e noʻonoʻo he mea maikaʻi ka huiʻana i ka maleʻana a me ka nohoʻana me ka hoʻokaʻawaleʻoleʻana, e hana pū ana i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, kahi i lawe pinepine ai iā lākou i ka hanohano o ka poʻe lanakila.
ʻAʻole i poina ka maestro e pili ana i ka ʻaoʻao waiwai, ʻike ʻia he maikaʻi kēia hui mai nā ʻano āpau. Ua loaʻa iā ia ke kālā i loaʻa ʻole i kekahi maestro ʻē aʻe (ʻaʻole nui loa, no ka mea ʻaʻole i uku maikaʻi ʻia ka hana a ka haku mele, akā, ma ke ʻano nui, lawa ke ola maikaʻi). A ua waiwai ʻo ia: loaʻa iā ia nā ʻāina a me nā hoʻopukapuka ma Sicily, he villa a me nā ʻāina ma Castenaso, he ʻumi mau kilomita mai Bologna, ka mea a kona makuakāne i kūʻai ai mai ke kulanui Sepania i ka wā o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Farani a waiho iā ia ma ke ʻano he hoʻoilina. He kanaha tausani Roma scudos kona kapikala. Eia kekahi, he mele kaulana ʻo Isabella, a ʻo kona leo i lawe mai iā ia i ka nui o ke kālā, a ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi haku mele kaulana, i haehae ʻia e nā impresario āpau, e piʻi aʻe kāna kālā. A ua hāʻawi pū ka maestro i kāna mau keaka me kahi mea hoʻokani maikaʻi.
Ua mālama ʻia ka male ma Malaki 6, 1822 ma Castenaso, kokoke i Bologna, ma ka hale pule o ka Virgine del Pilar ma ka Villa Colbran. I kēlā manawa, ua maopopo ua hala nā makahiki maikaʻi o ka mea mele ma hope ona. Ua ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka leo o bel canto ma mua o kona ikaika, ʻaʻohe mea maʻamau nā memo wahaheʻe, ua nalowale ka maʻalahi a me ka nani o kona leo. I ka makahiki 1823, ua hōʻike ʻo Isabella Colbrand i ka lehulehu no ka manawa hope loa i ka opera hou a Rossini, ʻo Semiramide, kekahi o kāna mau hana haku.
Ma "Semiramide" ua loaʻa iā Isabella kekahi o kāna mau pāʻina - ka pāʻina o ke aliʻi wahine, ke aliʻi o ka opera a me nā leo. ʻO ke kūlana hanohano, ka hoʻohiwahiwa, ke kālena koʻikoʻi o ka mea hoʻokani weliweli, nā mana leo maikaʻi - ʻo kēia mau mea a pau i hoʻokō ʻia ka hana o ka ʻāpana.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka mua o "Semiramide" i hana ʻia ma Venice i ka lā 3 o Pepeluali, 1823. ʻAʻole i waiho ʻia kahi noho kaʻawale i loko o ka hale keaka, ua piha ka poʻe i loko o nā alahele. ʻAʻole hiki ke neʻe i loko o nā pahu.
"ʻO kēlā me kēia pukana," i kākau ai nā nūpepa, "ua hāpai ʻia i nā hōkū. ʻO ke kahua o Marianne, kāna duet me Colbrand-Rossini a me ke kahua o Galli, a me ka tercet maikaʻi o nā mele mele ʻekolu i kapa ʻia ma luna, ua hoʻopuehu.
Ua hīmeni ʻo Colbrand ma "Semiramide" ʻoiai ʻo ia ma Palika, e hoʻāʻo ana me ke akamai kupanaha e hūnā i nā hemahema ʻike ʻole ʻia o kona leo, akā ua hōʻeha ʻo ia iā ia. ʻO "Semiramide" ka opera hope loa āna i hīmeni ai. Ma hope koke iho, ua ho'ōki ʻo Colbrand i ka hoʻokani ʻana ma ke kahua, ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi manawa i nā ʻaha mele salon.
No ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka hakahaka, hoʻomaka ʻo Colbran e pāʻani i nā kāleka a lilo i mea hoʻohui i kēia hana. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kumu i neʻe nui ai nā hoa wahine Rossini mai kekahi i kekahi. Ua lilo i mea paʻakikī i ka haku mele ke hoʻomanawanui i ke ʻano pupule o kāna wahine ʻino. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 30, i ka wā i hui ai ʻo Rossini a aloha iā Olympia Pelissier, ua ʻike ʻia he hiki ʻole ke haʻihaʻi.
Ua noho ʻo Colbrand i kona mau lā ma Castenaso, kahi i make ai ʻo ia ma ʻOkakopa 7, 1845, me ka hoʻokahi wale nō, poina ʻia e nā mea a pau. Poina ʻia nā mele āna i haku nui ai i kona ola.
