The librettist of Venice : the remarkable life of Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart's poet, Casanova's friend, and Italian opera's impresario in America / by Bolt, Rodney.(CARDINAL)367765;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 405-411) and index.Venice: An Abbé Errant -- Vienna: That True Phoenix -- London: Pigmies on Parnassus -- America: Mozart's Grocer."Born into an Italian Jewish family in 1749, Lorenzo Da Ponte would go on to become a Catholic, priest, a poet, a passionate lover of many women, a scandalous Enlightenment thinker banned from teaching in Venice, the librettist for three of Mozart's most sublime and controversial operas, a collaborator with Salieri, a friend of Casanova, and a favorite of Emperor Joseph II. He lived through the era of the Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and the conquests and defeat of Napoleon though he himself was no revolutionary, delighting in the company of the upper classes right up to the point where their intrigues turned against him. After reaching the heights of artistic success and the depths of financial ruin in some of Europe's greatest cities, he emigrated in 1805 to America, where he survived stints as a grocer and bookstore proprietor to help establish New York City's first opera house and to become, at age seventy six, the first professor of Italian at Columbia University. Brilliantly written and meticulously researched, The Librettist of Venice is a vivid account of Da Ponte's passionate, picaresque life. Rodney Bolt takes readers from Old World courts and the back streets of Venice, Vienna, and London to a New World full of promise, on the trail of a man who seemed to rise phoenixlike from each new defeat. Two hundred and fifty years after Mozart's birth, the life and legacy of his librettist Da Ponte remain as astonishing as ever"--Jacket.

Sent to the devil / by Lebow, Laura,author.(CARDINAL)409561;
"In 1788 Vienna, Court Poet Lorenzo Da Ponte is putting some finishing touches on the libretto for the premiere of his new opera with Mozart, Don Giovanni. A huge success when it debuted in Prague, the Emperor has decreed that it shall be performed in Vienna. But Joseph II is off prosecuting a less-than-popular war against the Turks, and the city itself is in a bit of turmoil. There are voices protesting the war, others who see Turks around every corner. Da Ponte, however, just wants to do his work and enjoy life. Alas, these simple desires aren't to be easily fulfilled. First, he's been getting a series of mysterious coded notes from unknown hands, notes that make no sense to him. Then his old friend Alois, a retired priest and academic, is viciously murdered and strange symbols carved into his forehead. Summoned to the police bureau, Da Ponte learns that Alois's murder was not the first. Determined to help find his friend's killer, Da Ponte agrees to help with the secret investigation. Caught in a crossfire of intrigue both in the world of opera and politics, Da Ponte must find the answer to a riddle and expose a killer before he becomes the next victim"--
