REGENTES

        Além de duas grandes personalidades brasileiras, o maestro Francisco Braga, o primeiro regente que atuou no Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, e Heitor Villa-Lobos, nosso maior compositor deste século, encontram-se representados nesse painel muitos dos mais famosos regentes que atuaram em importantes teatros do mundo.
        Como Arturo Toscanini (Painel 12, c.13), que teve inclusive sua estréia imprevista aos 19 anos de idade, como maestro, no Imperial Teatro D.Pedro II do Rio de Janeiro, alguns desses eminentes nomes estrangeiros da regência musical também se apresentaram no Brasil. Edouard Colonne, violinista e regente francês, que seria lembrado pelos seus célebres Concertos do Chatelet, que em Paris ainda levam seu nome, regeu no Brasil em 1872 e mereceu do Imperador D.Pedro II o grau de Cavaleiro da Ordem da Rosa. Cleofonte Campanini que regeria em Milão as estréias das óperas Adrienne Lecouvreur (1902), de Cilea, e Madame Butterfly (1904), de Puccini, dirigiu a orquestra da Companhia Lírica Ferrari no Rio e em São Paulo em 1893, durante uma das longas tournées da Companhia italiana pela América do Sul. Pietro Mascagni (P.27, c.9), o grande compositor, regeu toda a temporada lírica de 1911 do Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, retornando ao Teatro em 1922. Gino Marinuzzi estreou no Teatro Municipal em 1912 e voltou em sucessivas temporadas, Felix Weingartner veio em 1920 e em 1922, quando regeu o ciclo completo do Anel dos Nibelungos, a tetralogia de Wagner: O Ouro do Reno, A Valquíria, Siegfried e O Crepúsculo dos Deuses. Posteriormente, ainda outros regentes apresentados no painel, atuaram no Brasil.

        Besides two great Brazilian personalities, maestro Francisco Braga, the first conductor o present himself at the Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro, and Heitor Villa-Lobos, our greatest composer of this century, many other conductors who performed in the most important theatres of the world are represented in this panel.
        As did Arturo Toscanini (Panel 12, C.13), who gave his unexpected premiere as a conductor at the age of 19 at the Imperial Theatre D.Pedro II of Rio de Janeiro, some of these distinguished foreign names of International orchestra leaders also performed in Brazil. Edouard Colone, a French violinist and conductor, who would be remembered for his Chatelet Concerts, which still carry his name, in Paris, conducted in Brazil in 1872, and was knighted by Emperor Pedro II nd. with the Order of the Rose. Cleofonte Campanini who would lead the orchestra in the opening of Adrienne Lecouvreur (1902), by Cilea, and Madame Butterfly (1904) by Puccini, conducted the orchestra of the Ferrari Lyrical Company in Rio and in São Paulo in 1893, during one of the long tours of the Italian Company through South America. The great composer Pietro Mascagni (P.27, C.9), was the conductor during the entire lyrical season at the Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro in 1911, and returned once more to the same theatre in 1922. Gino Marinuzzi made his debut at the Municipal Theatre in 1912 and came back in successive seasons. Felix Weingartner came in 1920 and in 1922, when he conducted the complete cycle of the Niebelung Ring: The Rhinegold, The Walkirie, Siegfield and the Dusck of the gods.
