Preface: Simon, Robert.
Text: Martinu, Bohuslav
(nach Georges
Neveux).
Martinu
composed the one-act
operaArianeover the
course of a single month,
in June 1958. He prepared
the libretto himself
according to his friend
Georges Neveux's playThe
Voyage of Theseus(1943).
Most of the text was
taken from the second and
third act, besides
Ariane's lamentation at
the beginning of the
fourth act, which he
adapted as a grand
coloratura aria within
the opera's
finale.
Soon after
its completion, in summer
1958, and hoping for a
world premiere at Milan's
La Scala, Martinu entered
the opera into a
composer's competition
organised by the Italian
publishing house Ricordi
to celebrate the 150th
anniversary of its
founding. When the
contest was called off,
Martinu offered the work
to Barenreiter in spring
1959. Both the full score
and the vocal score
(arranged by the
composer) were published
posthumously in 1960. The
premiere took place at
the municipal theatre in
Gelsenkirchen in
1961.
The main
source of this
scholarly-critical
edition is the autograph
score, while the vocal
parts are also based on
the autograph vocal score
as a referential source.
The Appendix offers the
original beginning of the
work with an entirely
different orchestration,
which is also reproduced
as a facsimile.
