This show was badly needed for Vivaldi, and if he were alive today, he would love it. Classical music today, in a sense, has a very bad reputation, as it creates a class barrier, but this breaks down that barrier.
It’s modern, using the technology of today, and brings Vivaldi alive to people.
It’s a perfect balance and combination of correct information about Vivaldi and his life, and also there is the creative side, which will be pleasing to the general public.
There are many reasons to visit Viva Vivaldi. Would you say this exposition will help those wishing to better know and understand this musical genius? I have contributed information of Vivaldi’s life and the names of all the Figlie di Coro that he taught within his 38-year period at the Pietà also a list of all Vivaldi’s operas. What was your contribution to Viva Vivaldi ? What is also unusual is that, at that time, this was a predominantly man’s world, but at the Pietà, the women were the predominant force. Sources suggest he may have written more music for women than any other composer. His star pupil was Anna Maria del Violin, who also played the cello, mandolin, viola d’ amore, lute, theorbo (a large lute with the neck extended to carry several long bass strings, used for accompaniment in 17th- and early 18th-century music) and mandolin. There was a very special musical relationship between him and them and vice versa - one like no other maestro at the Pietà. He wrote music for them, but he had the luxury of being able to be creative, as these women were brilliant as players and singers, and he had many instruments at his disposal, so he could write music for so many different instruments but also combine concertos with strange instruments, that, in fact, I think no other composer has ever done. There, he taught the Figlie di Coro (“Daughters of Music”) the violin and the viola all’inglese. Vivaldi was a maestro (master) of violin and later maestro of concerts at the Ospedale della Pietà.
Who was Vivaldi the educator? What and how did he teach? It is a power, not an obligation the only obligation a priest has is to say the Divine Office daily, which he did, as Goldoni attests. What people do not understand is that a priest is not obliged to say Mass daily. Later, as we know, he had to give up saying Mass due to his illness. This also is a sign that he was a very serious and spiritual man who took his faith very seriously at this early age of his life. Another thing worth noting is that when Vivaldi was studying for the priesthood, of all the candidates who took holy orders with him, in all of the seven passages to the priesthood, four minor orders and three major orders, he was the only one to finish in the 10-year period.
