Alessandro De MarchiAbout
The music forms a direct transition from the Baroque opera to the bel canto era of Rossini and in every way merits a production in which the musical and vocal practice of Cimarosa and Mozart’s times is brought back to life. Nowadays Cimarosa’s opera is always heard in greatly abbreviated versions; repetitions and parts of arias often end up being eliminated. Alessandro De Marchi: 'Though precisely these repetitions are interesting because in them the female and male singers, just as then was still the practice, are able to vary and improvise.' The orchestral sound is also more colourfully and sharply contoured when original instruments are used. For the anniversary occasion everybody was supposed to have good reason to laugh, and this opera is optimally suited toward this end. The tradition of the opera buffa, with its origins going back to the commedia dell’arte, in this work experiences a 'high point full of irresistible moments of fun, on the stage and in the music' as De Marchi puts it.
