"Giovanna d'Arco" (Joan of Arc), Verdi's seventh opera, premiered
at La Scala in 1845 to great public success despite sub-par
production standards, and modern performances have swept away both
audiences and critical reservations when the work is executed with
faithfulness to his score. At the heart of this large-scale opera,
with its prominent choruses, is the difficult and beautiful part of
Joan--simultaneously ethereal soprano and dynamic warrior. The
libretto by Temistocle Solera, based in part on Schiller's play
"Die Jungfrau von Orleans," omits Joan's trial for heresy and
burning at the stake, ending instead with an offstage battle in
which she is mortally wounded leading the French to victory against
the English.
This critical edition of "Giovanna d'Arco," the first publication
in full score, is based on the composer's autograph score preserved
in the archives of Verdi's publisher, Casa Ricordi. It restores the
opera's original text, which had been heavily censored, and
accurately reflects Verdi's colorful and elaborate musical setting.
Editor Alberto Rizzuti's introduction discusses the opera's
origins, sources, and performance questions, while the critical
commentary details editorial problems and solutions.
