  • Opera na sporedih nemških gledaliških družb v Ljubljani v obdobju klasicizma
    Sivec, Jože
    In the evaluation ofthe results that the German theatrical companies appearingin Ljubljana had in the realm of opera in the period discussed, the fact should not be overlooked that their activities ... would meet with unfavourable economic conditions there. In Ljubljana, there were no higher nobility, andno rich bourgeoisie for that m,at-ter, to come forward as a generous patron of art. The power of the regional estates was growing weak considerably even in the latter half of the 18th century. The clo-sing years ofthe same and the beginning of the following century were then marked bytheturbulentperiodofNapoleonic wars which drovethecountryinto astateofto-talexhaustion ofits economic resources. For this reason, impresarios were secured only modest subsidies or, more often than not, none at all. In view of the above mentioned conditions, it has to be stated that the achieve-ments of the German theatrical companies were by no means small, in some cases they can even be regarded as remarkable. It is true that most ofthese companies ne-ver rose above the usualhumdrum mediocrity; however, there never failed to be some whose true concern was the elevation ofart. Out ofthem, a highest artistic level was achievedby the companies ofE. Schikaneder(1779/80 and 1781/82) andJoh. Friedl (1787/88), to be followed by those of F. Berner (1768 and 1784), F. Diwald (1784/ 85), F.J. Z611ner (1785/86), C. 'Waidinger (1818-20), Catharina Anton (1820/21), and C. Meyer (1824/1826). Even though their activities neverleft any marked traces in Slovene musical-dra-matic art, the significance of these German theatrical companies was nevertheless undeniable. Moreover, their significance for the period discussed here was even greater in view of the fact that performances by Italian theatrical companies were growing rare towards the end 0 f the 18thcentury, and became sporadic afterwards. Onaccountofthis, German theatricalcompaniesactedasimportantmediatorsofnot only German but also Italianand French operatic literature. Their performances kept enriching the musical life of Ljubljana then, contributing in no small degree to its overallstylistic image. At the time when Academia Philharmonicorum had stoppedexisting as the centralmusicinstitution andthe Philharmonic Societyhadnotcome to life as yet, these companies would play an essential rolein the promotion ofmusical Classicism, contributing considerably.to the growing strength of this stylistic trend even after the founding of the lattersociety in 1794. After 1823, they enhanced the onset of Romanticism. In this way, the main weight of their activity is recognized in their considerable broadening the musical horizon of their Ljubljana public, keepingthem fairly up-to-date with the notable works ofthe contemporary operatic literature. Thus, the opera repertoire ofthe Ljubljana theatre, though not as rich nor comprehen-sive as those ofthe eminent theatres in metropolises throughout Europe, managed to present most ofthe musical-dramaticproduction by the same composers as that pre-sented to the public of Europe's greatest theatres.
