#LearnWithASJ

In 2009, Aula Simfonia Jakarta became the official home for the Classical Music community, especially in Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia. For the past 10+ years, tens of thousands have come and go for hundreds of performances. It all stopped when Covid-19 hit all of us in such an unexpected way. We have all missed performing and listening to the concerts, we longed for the music that connects us in such a deeper level, where emotions are expressed where words cannot.

Starting July 2020, we would like to invite you to our new #LearnWithASJ series. With this new educational series, we hope to present to you some composers, their compositions, and classical music genres. On top of that, we would also like to introduce our "Music of the Month", available on Spotify, curated especially just for you.

Though music performances is on hold for now, learning should never be paused.

Opera Buffa (comic opera) was first popular in Italy but declined in the mid-19th century.

Rossini: The Barber of Seville | La Cenerentola
Donizetti: L'elisir d'amore | Don Pasquale
Verdi: Falstaff

SINGSPIEL
As in the French opera-comique like Bizet's Carmen, the singspiel was an opera with spoken dialogue. Some known works by:
Mozart - Die Entführung aus dem Serail | The Magic Flute
Beethoven - Fidelio
Lehár - The Merry Widow (20th century)

Enjoy some opera pieces curated especially for you on #Spotify #Aula Simfonia Jakarta.

“Ehh.. What’s up Doc?”
This simple catchphrase was of Bugs Bunny (Warner Bros, 1930), one of the cartoons that uses classical music embedded in their shows. “Rabbit of Seville”, in which Bugs Bunny escapes the obsessed Elmer Fudd by escaping into a production of Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville; 1816) by Gioachino Rossini.

The Simpsons also watched the popular opera, Carmen by Georges Bizet. It is in four acts which was one of the most frequently performed opera during 2007-2008. But the popularity did not stop there, up to date it is still one of the most performed opera.

Both Il Barbiere di Siviglia and Carmen are Opera Buffas which in general, avoided the overblown spectacle, the storylines were relatable to the middle class and their love stories, and avoided anything of noble matters and history. Its plots were highly sentimental, unambiguosly moral in character, and variably ended happily.

“Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.”
Robert Benchley⠀

#FACTS
7000 Meters
That is how much fabric needed in the set of Carmen for costumes.

DEATH
In The Magic Flute, Mozart incorporated many of their ideals of wisdom, friendship, nature and sacrifice. And about his death some say he was killed because his opera revealed the society’s secrets.

500+ Performances
Despite being hissed at its premiere, The Barber of Seville is Rossini’s most popular work. It is in the top five most performed operas in the current season with 534 performances worldwide.

BRAVO / BRAVA / BRAVI / BRAVE
After an opera, it is appropriate to yell BRAVO for the male lead singer and BRAVA for the lady. If you want to cheer for more than two singer, you can use BRAVI. If the group consists only of women, yell brave.
