lI Farnace is the most re-written and re-proposed of Vivaldi's operas, it's Iike a beIoved chiId who worries his father, and to whom the parent aIways wants to give the best. Versions of Farnace, two in 1727 and one each in 1730, 1731 and 1732, had been conceived and adapted to the different circumstances for Venice, Prague, Pavia and Mantua, always with a cast to VivaIdi's satisfaction and with the composer in controI of the production. The greatest appreciation of Vivaldi's operatic music was expressed in a letter by a spectator of the 1727 CarnivaI season, the abbot Antonio Conti. He wrote to Madame de CayIus that of all the operas of the Venice season he liked best Farnace because its music was very varied, "between the sublime and the tender", and because Vivaldi's pupil worked wonders. |
