Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro Jameson, Andrew Mackenzie
Abstract
Preparing an operatic role is a very extensive process for a student singer. Problems that confront a young singer when challenged with a new role are numerous. Aside from having to prepare vocally for the role there are many other aspects of the preparation process that are equally as difficult. The role which I prepared was the Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro by W.A. Mozart. Due to the fact that I was to perform the opera in Italian I completed a word by word translation of the entire opera. I also had to learn how to correctly pronounce each word that I sang so that the audience would understand what I said. I spent countless hours working on vocal production and an equal amount in rehearsal while learning how to perform this highly specialized form of music. In conclusion to the performances I found that I had a far greater ability to perform Mozart's music while possessing a solid understanding of the Italian language.
