description
Violanta is Korngold's second opera, that the composer wrote in 1914, at the age of 17. It was premiered with great success at Munich’s Hoftheater on 28th March 1916, and a few days later in Vienna. The influence of the Austrian capital is key to understand Korngold’s style: from the late 1800s to the early 1900s Vienna was a place of contrasts where coexisted nostalgia of the past and innovative trends, immobilism and creative energy. Erich grew up in this environment, absorbing inputs of different provenance which are all present in Violanta, making this opera a sort of “small-scale Vienna”.
The music language of this opera is a stage where different styles meet and clash. Korngold's music, with very refined orchestration, perfectly paints the contrast between the dark and deadly atmosphere of the oppressive world which Simone forces upon his wife and the sudden glimpses of life, sensuality, and passion brought by Alfonso, making Violanta one of the masterpieces of the early twentieth century.
