''Cardillac'' is an opera by Paul Hindemith in three acts and four scenes. Ferdinand Lion wrote the libretto based on the short story ''Das Fräulein von Scuderi'' by E.T.A. Hoffmann. ==Performance history== The first performance was at the Staatsoper, Dresden on 9 November 1926. It was promptly performed throughout Germany.〔Chris Walton, ''Othmar Schoeck: Life and Works''(Rochester, NY: University of Rochester Press, 2009), 153〕 Although Britain had to wait until 1970 for a staged performance, a concert performance was presented at the Queen's Hall, London, on 18 December 1936, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Clarence Raybould, and starring Miriam Licette as Cardillac's daughter.〔(Music Web International: Miriam Licette, Charles A Hooey )〕〔Encyclopedia.com: (Michael Kennedy and Joyce Bourne, "Cardillac" ), ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music'' 1996, accessed May 2, 2010〕 Hindemith revised both the score and the text, for the reason that, according to Ian Kemp, the musical idiom "seemed crude and undisciplined".〔Ian Kemp, "Hindemith's ''Cardillac''". ''The Musical Times'', pp. 268–269, 271 (1970).〕 This second version was first performed at the Zurich Stadttheater on 20 June 1952. Hans-Ludwig Schilling has published a comparison of the two versions.〔Review of "Paul Hindemiths ''Cardillac''. Beiträge zu einem Vergleich der beiden Opernfassungen-Stilkriterien im Schaffen Hindemiths", ''Music & Letters'', pp. 288–291 (1963)〕 After 1953, Hindemith sanctioned only the 1952 revised version for theatrical performances. However, after the composer's death in 1963, the original version became available again for production.〔Muriel Hebert Wolf, "Review of ''Cardillac'': Paul Hindemith", ''Opera Quarterly'', 1, pp. 133–134 (1983).〕 The opera's Italian premiere took place in 1948 at the Venice Biennale as part of the Venice Festival of Contemporary Music XI. 〔(La Divina Maria Callas: "A 'divine' love between Maria Callas and Venice" ), accessed 2 May 2010〕 The American premiere took place at The Santa Fe Opera in 1967 using a staging by director Bodo Igesz.〔(Cragg Hines, "Another reason to visit Santa Fe: the opera", ''Houston Chronicle'', 10 January 2007 )〕 The New Opera Company presented the first staged UK performances in March 1970 at Sadler's Wells.〔Winton Dean, "Music in London: ''Cardillac''", ''The Musical Times'', pp. 514–515 (1970)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardillac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
