Abstract

As my undergraduate education in opera stage direction comes to a close, I have designed my own final project: It is my intent to research and direct an original production of Antonio Salieri’s short opera Kleine Harlequinade. The opera will be performed in English by UNI School of Music students, with full scenic and costume production values. Salieri, though well known during his lifetime as a contemporary of Mozart, is rarely performed today. This research project will involve a complete analysis of the script and score, a literature review on the operas of Salieri, and the creation of a directing book for the opera including staging and set design. The dissemination of my research will primarily be at the public performances of the opera on March 6 and 7. At the conclusion of the project, I will prepare a short lecture on my findings.

Kleine Harlequinade: Synthesizing a Directing Education

As my undergraduate education in opera stage direction comes to a close, I have designed my own final project: It is my intent to research and direct an original production of Antonio Salieri’s short opera Kleine Harlequinade. The opera will be performed in English by UNI School of Music students, with full scenic and costume production values. Salieri, though well known during his lifetime as a contemporary of Mozart, is rarely performed today. This research project will involve a complete analysis of the script and score, a literature review on the operas of Salieri, and the creation of a directing book for the opera including staging and set design. The dissemination of my research will primarily be at the public performances of the opera on March 6 and 7. At the conclusion of the project, I will prepare a short lecture on my findings.
