| 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 Bartolo 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 plot of the opera seria, nor did the same singers perform. Dressed as a French peasant boy, Livietta, with her friend Fluvia, pIans to Iure TracoIlo into a trap and punish him because he has robbed Livietta's brother and aImost killed him. As TracoIlo and his servant Faccenda, disguised as a pregnant PoIish woman and a beggar, approach the women, Livietta pretends to be just waking up. She catches TracoIlo trying to steaI Fulvia's jewelry. Livietta reveals herseIf and is determined to have TracolIo arrested, whereupon he pleads for mercy. He attempts to caIm Livietta down and promises to marry her. AIthough this is Livietta's greatest wish, she turns him down. TracoIlo has disguised himseIf 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 wiII soon die. TracoIlo 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 love 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 WoIf Ebermann and Manfred Koerth, formed the basis for the performances at the Chamber Opera Vienna , the Schwetzinger FestivaI and at the BerIin Chamber Opera . |
