~The "Glass Shatterers!" series focuses on sopranos who sustain High F, or sing higher. THE SONGBIRD: Elizabeth Harwood +••.••(...)) was raised in Yorkshire by musical parents / her mother was a professional soprano, Constance Read, and gave Harwood voice lessons. Harwood studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music and at the age of 21, she won the Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Scholarship and spent a year in Milan studying with Lina Pagliughi. Her professional debut came as Second Boy in "The Magic Flute" at Glyndebourne in 1960. She became a member of the Sadler's Wells company in 1961 where she sang Manon, Gilda, Rossini's Adele, Konstanze, Countess Rosina, Fiakermilli, and Zerbinetta. After a tour of Australia with Joan Sutherland's company in 1967, Harwood's regular appearances at the Scottish Opera began with Fiordiligi and continued with Sophie, Lucia, Rosalinde, and Eva (her only Wagner role). At Covent Garden in the 1960s and 1970s she sang Fiakermilli, Gilda, Oscar, Donna Elvira, Norina, Arabella, and Manon. For Glyndebourne, she was Fiordiligi, Countess Rosina, and, in 1982, the Marschallin. Appearances abroad included Aix-en-Provence (Donna Elvira in 1967, Galatea in 1969); Salzburg (Konstanze and Fiordiligi in 1970, Countess Rosina in 1972); The Met (Fiordiligi in 1975); and La Scala (Konstanze in 1971). Harwood died of cancer at age 52. This recording of the original 1912 version of Zerbinetta's aria from the BBC, with Norman Del Mar conducting, only exists in poor audio. I have long searched for a better quality file, and even had a contact who works in the audio archives of the BBC search for it there, but to no avail / so for now, this is the best we have. THE MUSIC: Richard Strauss's opera "Ariadne auf Naxos" premiered twice. The first was in 1912 in Stuttgart where it was conceived as a short opera to accompany a new adaption of Moliere's play, "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme." This version was performed in other cities over the next year (Zurich, Munich, Prague, and London), but the play/opera hybrid concept proved ineffective (and way too long at over six hours). Working with his librettist/partner Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Strauss refashioned the opera as a stand-alone work with a newly added prologue, which premiered in this new form to success in Vienna in 1916. This version of the opera was quickly embraced by critics, artists, and the public / it has since been recorded commercially many times and is performed regularly around the world. Only rarely have there been staged or even concert productions of the earlier 1912 version of the opera and there is only one commercial recording. One of the changes Strauss made for the 1916 score was to lower the key and cut or alter about four minutes of music from Zerbinetta's grand aria "Grossmächtige Prinzessin." (In this video, I have roughly marked the three sections of deleted or altered music). Both versions are insane, but this original version is incomprehensibly difficult at nearly 15 minutes in length and with a gruelingly high tessitura, including two High F-sharps. In either version, the scene demands a level of virtuosic musicianship and theatrical flair that is simply unmatched. Zerbinetta is a coloratura soubrette on steroids! In this scene and role, Strauss invented an entirely new musical language to exploit the unique glories of the coloratura soprano voice. He revisited this proprietary mode of highly gymnastic vocalism a few other times afterwards: in the art song "Amor" (1918), with Fiakermilli in "Arabella" (1933), and for Aminta in "Die schweigsame Frau" (1935).
