Overview

Satyricon is a chamber opera by Bruno Maderna with a libretto adapted by and the composer from Petronius's Satyricon. It was written during Maderna's last illness in 1973 and premièred as part of the Holland Festival on 16 March 1973, in Scheveningen, Netherlands. The work consists of 16 unordered numbers (with the option of placing taped numbers between them) and the collage effect extends to the music, which relies heavily on pastiche. It is uncertain to what extent this "open" form was a product of the composer's inclination to semi-improvisational music theatre, or to the urgency of composition at a time when Maderna's terminal illness was increasingly becoming evident. There are four singers, employing respectively English and German, French, wordless vocalise, and Latin: the host Trimalchio (tenor, doubling as the merchant Habinnas), his wife Fortunata (mezzo-soprano), Criside (soprano), and Eumolpus (bass). At its premiere, the role of Fortunata was created by Débria Brown. It is suggested that tape music may be used between scenes; the 2004 production in Darmstadt included dialogue and a number of additional spoken roles.( References Sources

Notable quotes

“Et ideo ego adulescentulos existimo in scholis stultissimos fieri, quia nihil ex his, quae in usu habemus.”
— This is the reason, in my opinion, why young men grow up such blockheads in the schools, because they neither see nor hear one single thing connected with the usual circumstances of everyday life.
“Nondum umbraticus doctor ingenia deleverat.”
— No cloistered professor had as yet darkened men’s intellects.
“Nuper ventosa istaec et enormis loquacitas Athenas ex Asia commigravit animosque iuvenum ad magna surgentes veluti pestilenti quodam sidere adflavit, semelque corrupta regula eloquentia stetit et obmutuit.”
— This windy, extravagant deluge of words invaded Athens from Asia, and like a malignant star, blasting the minds of young men aiming at lofty ideals, instantly broke up all rules of art and struck eloquence dumb.
“Canis ingens, catena vinctus, in pariete erat pictus superque quadrata littera scriptum 'Cave canem. '”
— A huge dog, tied by a chain, was painted on the wall and over it was written in capital letters 'Beware of the dog.'
“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: ἀποθανεῖν θέλω.”
— For with my own eyes at Cumae I saw the Sibyl hanging in a bottle, and when the boys said to her: 'What do you want, Sibyl?' she replied: 'I want to die'.
“Necesse est cum insanientibus furere, nisi solus relinqueris.”
— With the mad it is necessary to be mad, unless you would be left all alone.
