Da «Nina» a «Belisa»: contagi veneziani (1788-1794)
2008
Giovanni Paisiello's "Nina o sia La pazza per amore" was one of the greates operatic successes of the late Eighteenth Century. The article studies its circulation in the Venetian area, as well as the reactions it produced as documented in theorical writings and newspapers. Moreover, the model of mixed dramaturgy exemplified by "Nina", characterized by the alternation of spoken dialogues and musical numbers, influenced some Italian authors. "Belisa ossia La fedeltà riconosciuta" by Alessandro Pepoli and the German composer Peter von Winter is one of the most interesting results of this experimentation, and can be considered as a sort of new "Nina" for the Venetian stage.
La ricezione italiana del melologo «à la» Rousseau e la «Pandora» di Alessandro Pepoli
2009
During the last decades of the Eighteenth Century, various Italian theatrical centres were reached by the fascination of Rousseau's "Pygmalion". Some authors considered with great interest the new proposal and tried to create original works based on the same combination of spoken text, gestures and musical comment. The article lists many "scene liriche" imitating "Pygmalion" and focuses in particular on Alessandro Pepoli's "Pandora". This venetian product, thanks to the availability of the complete score, allows a discussion on the features and problems that characterize the Italian reception of the French model.
