dbo:abstract
  • Cristoforo Colombo és una òpera en quatre actes i un epíleg composta per Alberto Franchetti sobre un llibret italià de Luigi Illica. L'escrivia el 1892 per commemorar el 400è aniversari de l'arribada de Cristòfor Colom a Amèrica. Encarregada per la ciutat de Gènova, l'hipotètic lloc de naixement de Colom, l'òpera tracta sobre el viatge de la descoberta, la seva oposició per les autoritats espanyoles, l'encoratjament de Colom per la reina Isabel, i finalment, després de les dificultats i el triomf, la seva angoixa quan s'assabenta de la seva mort. És una òpera essencialment melòdica escrita en l'estil del verisme, rica harmònicament, amb referències òbvies al treball de Richard Wagner. El monòleg del segon acte conté un motiu que recorda Das Rheingold; després de peticions de Terra! Terra! l'orquestra respon amb èxtasi en un fragment que recorda , i llavors un arc de Sant Martí fa d'arc de triomf. S'hi detecten elements anticlericals, especialment en les versions primeres de l'òpera: són els clergues que s'oposen al viatge inicialment, i que violentament intenten evangelitzar als nadius sud-americans.

It was written in 1892 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in America. Commissioned by the city of Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, the opera deals with the voyage of discovery, its opposition by the Spanish authorities, Columbus' encouragement by Queen Isabella, and finally, after his difficulties and triumph, his anguish when he learns of her death. An essentially melodic opera only tangentially influenced by the emerging verismo style, it is harmonically rich, with obvious references to the work of Richard Wagner and Meyerbeer. The act 2 monologue contains a Rhine-like motif; after cries of Terra! Terra! the orchestra replies with Tristan-like ecstasy, and then a rainbow bridge-like triumph. Its anti-church elements have been noted, particularly in the opera's earlier versions: it is the clerics who oppose the voyage initially, and who violently attempt to evangelise the South American natives.
