  • . 05.) "Lo Stiffelio riscaldato" : "Le Stiffelio "réchauffé"", ainsi fut surnommé par les espiègles habitants de Rimini, le pauvre Aroldo , à peine né ! Il faut préciser que l'infortuné Stiffelio (1850) fut d'abord privé de Finale (!), censuré parce qu'il montrait un pasteur pardonnant à sa femme adultère, dans un temple !...
  • . mais il déchira les parties de Stiffelio qu'il ne conserva pas et l'on ne joua plus que Aroldo ...
  • . qui se racheta en nous faisant connaître la musique de Stiffelio , désormais exécutable.
  • . Depuis, Stiffelio a regagné du terrain et c'est Aroldo que l'on ne représente plus ! Les principales différences entre les deux versions concernent bien sûr les personnages, lieux et époque, complètement différents, afin d'avoir la paix avec la censure ! (Le pasteur contemporain de Verdi devient un Croisé du XIIIe siècle).
  • . La grande différence est la substitution du dernier tableau et Finale de Stiffelio (durant une douzaine de minutes), par un nouvel acte (de 24 minutes) dans Aroldo .
  • . Si cette seconde version est musicalement plus élaborée par Verdi ( Rigoletto, Trovatore et Traviata étant passés par là !), plus concis et "resserré", plus immédiat, apparaîtra en revanche Stiffelio .
  • . Avec ce fort bel enregistrement, une nouvelle chance est ainsi donnée (à son tour !) au pauvre Aroldo , largement distancé dans le nombre des reprises, par son "père" Stiffelio ...

  • . November 1850 im heute Teatro Lirico „Giuseppe Verdi“ di Trieste genannten Opernhaus uraufgeführte Stiffelio ist nach Meinung des bedeutenden Verdiforschers Julian Budden „das am meisten zu Unrecht vernachlässigte Werk“ des Meisters aus Busseto, was nicht zuletzt die Tatsache belegt, dass nur eine Studioaufnahme vorliegt (aus dem Jahre 1979 mit José Carreras und Sylvia Sass unter Lamberto Gardelli).

    Opera Review-- Verdi: Stiffelio
  • Opera Review-- Verdi: Stiffelio By Andrew Porter By 2001 Covent Garden plans to have staged all Verdi's operas.
  • . In 1854-the year after Traviata-he said that, while he was prepared to abandon, as mistakes, some of the early operas that hadn't made the rounds, there were two that he would not like to see forgotten: La Battaglia di Legnano and Stiffelio.
  • . Work on a revamped Battaglia (with Leon Bardare the poet who completed Trovatore after Cammarano's death) petered out but with the pliant Piave (the original librettist) Stiffelio was refashioned as Aroldo.
  • . Stiffelio in 1854 had been heard in only four cities.
  • . Aroldo, Julian Budden writes in Covent Garden's Stiffelio programme, has 'craftsmanship and incidental beauties'; Stiffelio is 'the masterpiece Seville mounted both operas in 1859: Venice did both in 1985: Londoners can make the comparison when the Chelsea Opera Group does Aroldo on March 6.
  • . Stiffelio has the more striking plot-the plight of a Protestant pastor who preaches the forgiveness of sins but finds it hard to forgive his own wife's adultery-and is the more ambitious opera.
  • . Verdi dismembered Stiffelio when he composed Aroldo: from the autograph he tore the pages that he chose to retain, changed the characters' names, and buried the rest in his private archive.
  • . From them Stiffelio has, since 1968, been revived a few times.
  • . The bit parts-Stiffelio is a three-singer opera-were decently taken by Gwynne Howell, Robin Leggate, Adele Paxton and Lynton Atkinson.
  • . Stiffelios in Parma, Boston, Brooklyn-have stirred.
  • . Stiffelio is no Otello.
  • . And in the Covent Garden Stiffelio, even some of unquestionably powerful episodes, while exquisitely played, were held inexpressively to metronomic tempos.
  • . Ah, dagli scanni eterei-seeking (and finding) reassurance that Stiffelio/Aroldo is a more emotional opera than what I'd just heard.
  • . C-major reconciliation, and happiness, we had a Stiffelio singing his last lines ("Perdonata') through gritted teeth, staring ahead, not looking with rekindled love at this wife, who tottered forward and apparently expired.
