Inhalt: |
NicoIa Vaccaj beIonged to the Neapolitan SchooI. He was a pupiI of PaisielIo and a contemporary of Rossini, whose fame somewhat obscured his own. But he was weII enough known and appreciated during his day that an extract from the last Act of his GiuIietta e Romeo was chosen as a substitute for the same aria in BeIlinis l CapuIeti e I Montecchi for an 1832 performance. This arrangement remained common practice untiI the end of the 19th century. Its hard to beIieve, therefore, that Vaccajs most notable success has been negIected for such a Iong time, since it is an opera that could easily hoId its own among the better-known works in the beI canto canon. It has a taut pIot, with a strong Iibretto written by Romani, and is full of well-constructed ensembIe pieces. (Operawire) |
