To Vienna, With Ridotto The year is 1809, and the Viennese have woken up to a bitter truth: their city is in the hands of Napoleon. An impresario by the name of Casti laments his fate; most of his patrons are gone, and his city is in chaos. Then suddenly, a strange young man appears, who offers to bring change to the situation. Along the way there is a tempestuous lady by the name of Madame Goldenprahl, and a hopeful and patriotic cleaning lady. What's all this? The stuff of opera? You guessed it. It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's seldom performed opera, \The Impresario.\ Newly adapted from the original libretto, and fully staged and accompanied by a chamber orchestra, courtesy of Ridot- to. And it's coming May 15, 4 p.m. at the Old First Church in Huntington. The program, which amounts to a revival of the venerable 18th century art of opera \pasticcio is right in line with Ridotto's unique approach to concerts. Set in Vienna in 1809 under French occupation, this witty new En- glish adaptation blends arias from other Mozart composition into the original Mozart score, reviving a \chamber opera\ tradition that flour- ished in Europe in the 18th century. The cast includes baritone Sean Barker as the Impresario, tenor Chris- tian Fletcher as Buff, Laure Meloy as Madame Goldenprahl, and Janice Weir as the powerfully vocalizing Miss Sil- berklang. Richard Westerfield, assistant conductor of the New York Philharmon- ic, leads the Ridotto Chamber Ensem- ble in the orchestration by Alan Arnold. The name Ridotto, regular readers of this paper will recall, dates back to 17th century Venice. The \ridotto\ was a space adjacent to the theater, where visitors from all levels of society (often masqued) engaged in discussions on art, fashion, literature, and other sub- jects of common interest. The unusual exchange of ideas taking place in the historic ridotti caused suspicion with the authorities, and they were ordered closed in the mid-18th century. Margaretha Maimone revived the notion first in her native Netherlands, and later here on Long Island. In her resurrected Ridotto, music is com- bined carefully to create a balanced program of concerts with a touch of theater. \The concert programs offer a variety of repertoire that is not limit- . ed to one ensemble nor to one style period,\ she notes. \Although music is the central fo.rce of each perfor- mance, programs often take their in- spiration from a broad cultural theme rather than a composer or a style pe- riod. This formula thus allows for a (Continued on page 14) .r l t I
