about

Tara Rose Davison, renowned as the only self-accompanied opera singer, is a virtuosic singer and classical guitarist. Tara Rose has performed on international opera stages in various roles such as Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare, Rosalina in Die Fledermaus and Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte. She was a finalist in the Metropolitan Opera Auditions and has performed for a White House Delegation. Most recently, she had the honor of giving a solo recital at the Guitar Foundation of America International Convention. Tara Rose received her Master of Music Degree, Opera from CU Boulder.

Fra tutte le pene is the second song in a set of six ariettes (Sei Ariette) by Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829). Giuliani is most known for his vast collection of works for classical guitar. This set of vocal music however was of great importance to Giuliani’s career in that it was written for the Archduchess of Austria, Marie Louise, who favored Giuliani as her court composer. Marie Louise was the second wife of Napoleon. It is said that though their marriage was arranged they were truly in love. Sei Ariette was published in 1818, just four years after Napoleon’s fall in 1814. After Napoleon’s exile, Marie Louise returned to Vienna. With words by Metastasio (1698-1782) these songs truly capture what Marie Louise must have felt during this time. A competent musician in her own right, it is highly likely that Marie Louise sang these very songs.
