Mozart had the highest regard for Mysliveček, whom he met as a young man in Bologna in 1770. They remained close friends for some time, until a fallout several years later. Mozart also mentions Mysliveček several times in his letters to his father. The most remarkable and touching is the letter from October 1777, when he describes his meeting with Mysliveček in a hospital, after an incompetent surgeon burned off Mysliveček's nose while trying to treat apparent symptoms of tertiary syphilis. Mysliveček died about four years later.
Myslivecek, Haydn and Dittersdorf are probably my favorite composers of Classical Period opera, of course being slightly behind Mozart. Some other worthy opera composers of that period are J.C. Bach, B. Galuppi, J.A. Hasse, N. Piccinni, and T. A. Arne. There are many others who also composed amazing classical period opera, but it is just much harder to find performances unfortunately. Montezuma is such a wonderful opera, and this performance is truly a treasure to behold. Thank you for this post!
Si amigo Andrés de Moctezuma también es conocida una ópera compuesta por el italiano Antonio Vivaldi y que en TH-cam tuve la dicha de verla y hasta de bajarla en mi PC. La versión fue realizada hace pocos años en el zócalo de la ciudad de México como un tributo para la conmemoración de los 500 años de la fundación de la capital de México. Fue interpretada en las lenguas nahualt y castellano con elenco totalmente mexicano. Muy atractiva representación que ojalá se repitiera más a menudo en diferentes escenarios de la república mexicana y en el resto del mundo. Saludos desde Panamá!
I have no idea how many times I've watched this most AWESOME. opera. The music is so beautiful and singing top notch. Never ever get tired of watching and listening to it. I'm from Mexico and feel proud of our Indian heritage.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE MOTEZUMA BY VIVALDI, GIAN FRANCESCO DE MAJO, BUT NOW I BELIEVE THE BEST SETTING IS THE UNDER-RATED, AND TOP 10 COMPOSERS OF ALL THE 18th CENTURY, AND THE GREATEST EXPONENT IN MY FAVORITE GENRE: DRAMMA PER MUSICA/SERIA STYLE, IN THE CLASSICAL ERA: JOSEF MYSLIVECEK, A GENUINE INFLUENCE, AND INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG MOZART, PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO THAN: PICCINI, HAYDN, J.C. BACH, PAISIELLO!
Remarkable singers. I love Motezuma (Jakub Burzinski), Quacozinga (Marie Fajtova) and all others. Excellent staging evoking Aztec empire decadence. Very good dancers. A very exciting opera seria contemporary of Lucio Silla (Mozart), Temistocle (JC Bach) and Antigona (Traetta).
O, the surprising, great places YT can take one to - I cant help loving this production, and what an opera seria, wow, what a rare thing to stumble on! Too bad about the background noise, for there is also some great singing - thank you so much for this upload!
2000mulligan You are welcome to come and see the next piece 'in persona'. This year '"Daniel Delivered from the Lion’s Den" by Georg Telemann. The town is beautiful and the admission is almost free, well actually its abt. USD18 ;)) The background noise is misfortune for YT but luck for spectators as it use to be open-air in the monastery garden.
Thanks for the invitation, I'd love to - I sometimes go to the baroque festival in Cesky Krumlov, and it'd be exciting to also try this one, I live not far away from Znojmo - and Telemann is also one of the immortals - I'd appreciate if you let me know when the event will take place - and thanks again!
Una messa in scena sconclusionata. Una sinfonia eseguita a puntate, un pezzetto per ogni atto. Le parti maschili eseguite da cantanti pietosi. Il divino Boemo avrebbe meritato qualcosa di più, davvero! Beh... godiamoci le arie di Guacozinga e Lisinga (brave e belle) e tiriamo un velo pietoso sul resto
Un film biografico "Il Boemo" sul compositore ceco Josef Mysliveček è attualmente in streaming su Netflix. Mozart ammirava le composizioni di Josef Mysliveček e divenne suo amico. Lo visitò a Monaco anche nel momento in cui il volto di Mysliveček era sfigurato a causa del trattamento per la sifilide.
Hi, in fact there is better quality here on TH-cam than it would on standard Video DVD. This video recording is non-profit project and will not be published on Blu-ray on DVD. But you can enjoy it here on TH-cam for free. Also you can come to the Czech Republic and support the artists by buying tickets for their current shows: www.ebcz.eu/en/home/
Absoluta genialidad que acabo de descubrir, tanto la obra como al compositor. Todos lo comparan con Mozart, aunque creo que tiene mucho de Salieri. Al fin contemporáneos.
Hi, for this opera they were digging really deep into the old archives and they spent months restoring old handwritten sheets (which often even include many errors due to manual copying). Unfortunately, I do not think they made it publicly available after.
It is a shame that Mysliveček is now more widely known. I have always been partial to him more than Salieri or JC Bach...So much music to listen to....
Damn, I just stumbled across this. It's such an amazing opera that I've honestly never heard of before today. I only wish there were English subtitles so I could understand more of what's going on. Oh, and maybe a DVD or Blu-ray release to have on my shelf.
miraculous Saint Josef Mysliveček !!! Nothing to envy to Mozart! Thanks @CarloMalane and @philipperovini ! If Mozart didn't write it, then he probably copied it!!
According to Wikipedia, Myslivecek’s libretto is by Vittorio Amedeo Cigna-Santi. Here is the link to Baldassare Galuppi - Cigna-Santi performance: www.ensemblesanfelice.com/pdf/galuppi-motezuma/Motezuma-Libretto.pdf with notes and synopsis. Here the characters are: Motezuma Imperator of Mexico, Lover and promised spouse of Erismena (mezzo-soprano), Erismena Queen of a dependent province of the empire (soprano), Cortes Generale de 'Spagnuoli (tenor), Teutile Capitano of the auxiliary Indians of Cortes, Lisinga lover (soprano), Lisinga (soprano) Motezuma slave princess, Ostane Official Host of the Imperial crown and confidant of Motezuma (contralto). Listening the recording I have some difficulties to follow the text; I’m not sure the recording followed faithfully Cigna - Santi text. At the beginning are sung some verses that don’t appear in the libretto The four last lines sung by the chorus differ, in my opinion, from both Cigna Santi than Giusti’s librettos. Only the conductor can have the last word in the matter. The same libretto was chosen also by, Gian Francesco de Majo (1765), Baldassare Galuppi (1772) and Pasquale Anfossi (1776) Another libretto by Giampietro Tagliazucchi was used by Carl Heinrich Graun (1755) Vivaldi chose Girolamo Alvise Giusti Libretto in 1734-39 www.librettidopera.it/zpdf/motezuma.pdf
I have looked all over the internet for a cd of this magnificent opera. Can anybody please tell me where can I find it. This video is awesome but the background noise is distracting. Thank you for sharing.
Il film biografico "Il Boemo" del 2022 sul compositore ceco Josef Mysliveček è attualmente in onda su Netflix. Mysliveček è andato in Italia, dove è diventato molto famoso. Gli italiani lo chiamavano IL BOEMO. Fin da bambino Mozart ammirava le composizioni di Josef Mysliveček e divenne suo amico, con cui corrispondeva. Lo ha anche visitato in un ospedale di Monaco ed è rimasto scioccato dall'apparizione di Mysliveček, il cui volto era sfigurato a causa della malattia e del trattamento per la sifilide.
Legolasicek private message your email address, I have a high quality rehearsal recording session they did before they performed the live rendition before an audience therefore there is no audience, hence lack of stage noise, etc. I'm an amateur sound engineer and I have remastered/polished some of the arias to attain commercial-grade quality given the original source being a radio broadcast.
A musical paradise. Thank you Joseph Myslivecek 🙏 and executors 🙏. But oh what a horrible set and costumes. Distasteful ! Too bad for that beautiful music 😞😱
hudební provedení ujde , zpěváci se snaží, režie - snad děti v mateřské školce by pištěli nadšením, podle malůvek na tvářích Aztekú se jedná asi o operu o kočkách
Thank you for making the work of this little-known master available!

What do you think about Salieri, Cimarosa and Paisiello?
El Emperador Azteca, Moctezuma, tiene el honor de tener varias Operas, dedicadas a su memoria, es un honor ser Mexicano 🇲🇽
Si amigo Andrés de Moctezuma también es conocida una ópera compuesta por el italiano Antonio Vivaldi y que en TH-cam tuve la dicha de verla y hasta de bajarla en mi PC.

Magnifica obra, estupenda!!!

I'm up to number 4. Been a busy week.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this most AWESOME. opera. The music is so beautiful and singing top notch. Never ever get tired of watching and listening to it. I'm from Mexico and feel proud of our Indian heritage.
Muchas gracias por subir una de esas joyas olvidadas que ojalá la gente apreciara. Por eso el mundo está de cabeza!! Es una belleza.

Simply brilliant.
53:33 ❤❤❤❤❤
Remarkable singers. I love Motezuma (Jakub Burzinski), Quacozinga (Marie Fajtova) and all others. Excellent staging evoking Aztec empire decadence. Very good dancers.
A very exciting opera seria contemporary of Lucio Silla (Mozart), Temistocle (JC Bach) and Antigona (Traetta).
The aria at 22:51 is wonderful, love the staging too
Fantastické!
brilliant , shame that we hardly ever see this performance in our opera houses
It is performed in Italian with the Czech subtitles. Subtitles are also available on youtube.

22:50 More mozartian than Mozart himself !
🥰😏

Где можно найти ноты оперы? На IMSLP и Internet Archive их нет(

Can you add english or spanish subtitles??
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
in the settings, right corner, change to automatic translation and chose English. Works rather well with this text.
"Can you add english or spanish subtitles??" Seriously? How about subtitles in Kiswahili? Or Ketchua? How about learning italian?
VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
Maria Fajtovà è bravissima!
Amazing. Does anybody have libretto in Italian?

Could I kindly ask where did the musicians get the score of this opera?
Mozart quanto hai copiato da questo compositore?
un sacco e non solo da lui!!!

Is any better audio record available please? This is full of desk-noises from scene :( ..

Same request as Legolasicek...I am a Myslivecek fanatic! Where can I private message you my email address?
Pleasee.. I still have no response..
the only we have is from stage...
What a delight in so many ways. Perhaps the only peculiarity is all the pale-skinned blonds pretending to be Aztec. Make-up anyone?
A musical paradise. Thank you Joseph Myslivecek 🙏 and executors 🙏. But oh what a horrible set and costumes. Distasteful ! Too bad for that beautiful music 😞😱
