- Satyricon (opera)
Satyricon is a
chamber opera byBruno Maderna with a libretto adapted by Ian Strasfogel and the composer fromPetronius . It was written during Maderna's last illness in 1973 and premièred as part of theHolland Festival onMarch 16 ,1976 inScheveningen , Netherlands.The work consists of 16 unordered numbers and the
collage effect extends to the music, which relies heavily onpastiche . There are four singers, employing respectively English & German, French, wordlessvocalise , and Latin: the host Trimalchio (tenor , doubling as the merchant Habinnas), his wife Fortunata (mezzo-soprano ), Criside (Soprano ), and Eumolpus (Bass).
