| The lntermezzi presented here were premiered in combination with Giovanni Battista PergoIesi's opera Adriano In Siria on the occasion of the festivities for the birthday of Queen EIizabeth of Spain in 1734 at the Teatro San BartoIo in Naples. As was customary, the first intermezzo was given after the first act and the second intermezzo after the second act of the opera. The intermezzi had no connection with the pIot of the opera seria, nor did the same singers perform. Dressed as a French peasant boy, Livietta, with her friend FIuvia, plans to lure TracolIo into a trap and punish him because he has robbed Livietta's brother and almost kiIled him. As Tracollo and his servant Faccenda, disguised as a pregnant Polish woman and a beggar, approach the women, Livietta pretends to be just waking up. She catches Tracollo trying to steaI FuIvia's jeweIry. Livietta reveals herseIf and is determined to have TracoIlo arrested, whereupon he pIeads for mercy. He attempts to calm Livietta down and promises to marry her. Although this is Livietta's greatest wish, she turns him down. Tracollo has disguised himself as an astroIoger and pretends to be deranged in order to soften Livietta's heart after all. To test his supposed unsoundness of mind, Livietta acts the part of one who will soon die. TracolIo proves to be very concerned at this new set of circumstances; he stirs Livietta in such a way, that she leaves off alI deception. Both swear to marry, swear eternal Iove and faithfuIness. Livietta And TracolIo counts among the most popuIar intermezzi of the 18th century and was performed on numerous ltaIian stages and in other European countries for over 20 years. The production of the Intermezzo, adapted in 1963 by Wolf Ebermann and Manfred Koerth, formed the basis for the performances at the Chamber Opera Vienna , the Schwetzinger Festival and at the BerIin Chamber Opera . |
