Cimarosa, Domenico;
"Il Matrimonio Segreto"
(The Secret Marriage),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(While the Drottningholm court theatre orchestra
is featured, this opera takes place at the Cologne
Opera house, NOT at the Drottningholm court theatre.)
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"Cosi fan Tutti"
(They are all that Way),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(Emphasis upon performers thus the Drottningholm
theatre is de-emphasized.)
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail"
(The Abduction from the Seraglio),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(Blind loges clearly seen, flats
painted to show linear-perspective, emphasis upon
performers thus the Drottningholm theatre is de-emphasized,
costumes used for stage illumination,
evidence of racism and Ottomans [Turks] are
confused with Moguls [Indians].)
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"Die Zauberflöte"
(The Magic Flute),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(Blind loges clearly seen, especially during the overature),
flats painted to show linear-perspective (scaenographic
palladian flats), flats display "changement à vue"
on several occasions. People emerge simultaneously from the wings.
theatre machinery includes thunder machine, lightning,
use of trap door (to allow the Queen of the Night to appear,
as well as disappear; when Papageno first asks Papagena's name),
cloud machine, tree arriving for Papageno to hang himself. Costumes:
illuminated, and use jewelery (girandoles, neclaces, sequins), also
use feathers, wigs, farthingales. Sensitive use of hand and facial
gestures (reminicent of "Ballet d'Action").
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"Idomeneo",
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(Flats painted in perspective and in "changement à vue",
Stage machinery such as the wave machine can be seen.)
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"La Finta Giardiniera"
(The Pretend Garden-Girl),
Drottningholm Theatre
(Similar to Molière: Commedia dell'Arte,
blind loges clearly seen, wonderful parody
of French choreography, a variety of theatre machines:
ligtning, wind, and rolling-thunder machines, flats
painted to show linear-perspective.)
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"Le Nozze di Figaro"
(The Marriage of Figaro),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
Moving flats ("changement à vue") are not
to be seen; lightning appears in act 4, otherwise no
theatre machinery; mostly closeups targeting the
TV/Disneyland/Peter Sellars audience, thus the raked
stage with perspective flats are ignored except at the
end of act 2, and act 3 scene 1; blind loges (trumpet
boxes) are visible; costumes are good, but notably,
masks are used in act 4: (female goat, figaro as horned
[cuckold], masks as in Commedia dell'arte Arlequin).
.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus;
"La Clemenza di Tito"
(The Clemency of Titus),
Drottningholm Court Theatre
(Blind loges clearly seen,
flats painted in perspective and in "changement à vue",
costumes show "turquerie" and "chinoiserie",
clothing and jewelery used to enhance stage illumination,
stage machinery such as trap doors, Swedish propaganda evident [well done!].)
.
Rameau, Jean-Philippe;
"Zoroastre opéra"
(Zoroaster),
Opus Arte, East Sussex, 2007,

and use of stage machinery.)
