A composer who was quite familiar to Mozart's operatic audiences, Domenico Cimarosa was the prolific creator of over 60 operas. He was the son of a poor bricklayer, coming from a working-class family. He studied music at the Conservatorio Santa Maria di Loreto from 1761 until 1772. Among his teachers was the famous Piccinni, the rival of Gluck in France. His first opera was Le stravaganza del conte. It premiered in Naples in 1772, and its success was such that it brought Cimarosa immediate recognition. Cimarosa spent the next several years in Rome and Naples, and composed over twenty operas for these two cities. His operas were performed internationally in Paris, Vienna, Dresden, and London. In 1787, Catherine II invited him to St. Petersburg. During his stay in Russia, Cimarosa continued to compose at a prodigious rate. La Cleopatra and La vergine del sole are two works that were staged in 1788. Subsequently, Leopold II of Austria engaged him as court Kapellmeister in Vienna, to fill the position vacated by Salieri. One of Cimarosa's greatest successes was staged in Vienna. Il matrimonio segreto, a delightful comic opera full of invention and wit, immensely pleased the Emperor. He gave the entire cast supper, and had them perform the entire opera again that same evening. Although lacking Mozart's depth, Cimarosa's music does possess some of Mozart's qualities -- in particular, a gift for the comic, buffo style.

After the death of the Emperor, Salieri was reappointed Kapellmeister, and Cimarosa was released. He left Vienna and returned to Naples where he entered the service of the King. He was hailed in Naples as a great operatic hero, and his Il matrimonio segreto was performed 57 times running. However, Cimarosa's last years were marked by misfortune. When the French Republican army marched into Naples, Cimarosa enthusiastically declared his support of the revolution. He was immediately thrown into prison and condemned to death. The King eventually released him, but banished him from Naples. Broken in spirit, Cimarosa attempted to return to Russia, but died in Venice in 1801. Because of rumors that he was poisoned, the government was obliged to perform an autopsy. In addition to operas, Cimarosa left behind oratorios, masses, and cantatas, and some instrumental music. --- Rita Laurance, Rovi

Fischer-Dieskau and Varady play and sing their hearts out, while Auger's duets with Varady are among the most beautiful examples of buffa singing on record. The superb Ryland Davies, Alberto Rinaldi, and Julia Hamari make up the remainder of this outstanding cast on this outstanding recording. "Il Matrimonio Segreto" is a delightful opera which deserves to be much better known that it is.

Cimarosa already had strong ties to the Viennese imperial court, and when he arrived in the city in 1791 he quickly took a leading role. When Joseph II died, Salieri gave up his day to day duties in the opera house, and turned his attention to other forms of music. To help take up the slack, Cimarosa was appointed Kapellmeister, and Leopold quickly commissioned him to write a new opera for the court theater.

The piece he came up with was the comedy Il Matrimonio Segreto -- The Secret Marriage. The opera's story came from an English play by George Coleman and David Garrick, called The Clandestine Marriage, which premiered in 1766 at London's Drury Lane Theater, not far from today's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

The opera's libretto was written by Giovanni Bertati, whose rivalry with Mozart's famous librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte caused a bit of backbiting. Da Ponte praised Cimarosa's music for the opera, while declaring that opera's "words fell very far below expectations, and everyone is dissatisfied." But while Bertati's work on the whole may not have risen to the standards of Da Ponte's best efforts, The Secret Marriage was an undisputed hit, leaving the emperor satisfied enough that he ordered an immediate encore of the entire opera, after a quick break for dinner.

For the time being, Cimarosa rose to the top of the class in the unforgiving world of Viennese opera. Il Matrimonio Segreto was premiered at Vienna's Burgtheater in 1792. By 1800 the city had seen more than 70 performances of the score. Within two years of its premiere the opera had also been performed in cities all across Europe, including Leipzig, Paris, Florence and Lisbon, and by the early 19th century it had been translated into nearly a dozen languages. --- worldofopera.org

A one-act farce based on the inflated personalities of stock opera talent from the 18th century, this piece is Cimarosa during his prime. In this production, his sense of melody and counterpoint has evolved beyond Paisiello and other Neapolitan composers of the time, pointing directly towards the future (specifically Rossini) in its effortlessness and beauty.

While it seems that most of the attention the booklet essay pays to goes towards the central quartetto, I found the truly astonishing portion of this opera resided in it's aria's. They've basically laid the groundwork for Rossini's traditional two-movement aria format (slow to moderate 1st; stretta finale) just bursting with melodic gems.

The ensembles (an introduzione, a mid-act quartetto, and two duetto's) are very well done and are also quite advanced in approach, construction, and wit, especially the mid-act quartetto. It is in these numbers that Cimarosa's comic sense makes it's presence known with spectacular effect as the various characters quarrel on stage as only vain 18th century performers could.

The recording itself was done by BonGiovanni. Their offers are usually hit-and-miss type affairs with this one being a bit of a miss. The performers are adequate if a bit sub-par at points but pull it off well enough. The orchestration and direction is reasonable although it doesn't quite do the liveliness of Cimarosa's opera's justice because it tends to linger in mid-range tempi. Cimarosa only comes to life with contrasting movements and up-tempo drama and humor.

There are some minor distortions that are picked up and the orchestra, at certain points during some of the aria's does over-power the performers but since Cimarosa's opera's are so hard to find I would grab this one up if you consider yourself a true fan of 18th century Neapolitan opera. ---B. Bork, amazon.com

 

L'impresario in angustie è una farsa per musica composta da Domenico Cimarosa nel 1786 su libretto di Giuseppe Maria Diodati.

Fu messa in scena per la prima volta nell'autunno del 1786 al Teatro Nuovo di Napoli insieme ad un'altra breve opera del compositore partenopeo, Il credulo, che già aveva rappresentato nello stesso teatro poco tempo prima. Fu successivamente data in altre città italiane e nel 1790 con il titolo L'impresario rovinato venne messa in scena a Barcellona.

L'opera è una satira teatrale è fa parte di quel filone di parodie dell'ambiente teatrale composte dopo la pubblicazione nel 1720 de Il teatro alla moda di Benedetto Marcello, con il quale attraverso opportune satire egli criticava gli eccessi dell'opera dell'epoca.

Il lavoro cimarosiano ebbe, per molti anni, un successo clamoroso e venne rappresentata in moltissimi teatri europei e spesso tradotta. Anche la musica subì, quasi per ogni rappresentazione, modifiche sostanziali con aggiunte di brani tratti da opere di altri autori, oppure composti, sempre da altri compositori, espressamente per l'adattamento. La drammaturgia subì spesso radicali rifacimenti, trasformando l'opera di volta in volta, e mutandone la struttura in due atti e in tre atti. Particolarmente documentate rimangono i rimaneggiamenti per le rappresentazioni parigine (a partire dal 1787) e viennesi (a partire dal 1793), che aggiungono alla struttura musicale originale molti nuovi pezzi (Aria per Gelindo, Aria per Strabinio, aria per Doralba ecc.) modificandone anche radicalmente in Finale originale.

Il poeta e scrittore tedesco Johann Wolfgang von Goethe assistette a una rappresentazione di questa operina a Roma nel 1787, durante il suo famoso viaggio in Italia: il lavoro gli piacque molto e lo definì un'opera che sempre rallegra. Quattro anni questa farsa verrà messa in scena a Weimar in versione revisionata e tradotta in tedesco dallo stesso Goethe con il titolo Die theatralischen Abenteuer.

L'opera, dimenticata per tutto il XIX secolo, tornò in auge a partire dagli anni '30 del novecento e venne rappresentata le prime volte al Teatro Regio di Torino e al Teatro La Scala di Milano. Edizioni moderne di questa partitura sono state approntate nel 1993 da Nick Rossi e Talmage Fauntleroy e, nel 2006, da Simone Perugini per conto dell'Accademia Lirica Toscana "D. Cimarosa". --- it.wikipedia.org

Composed only a few years before Mozart's own unfinished Requiem, it invites invidious comparisons, being essentially a "pièce d'occasion" composed in haste for the funeral of the wife of the ambassador of Naples and Sicily who unexpectedly died a few days after Cimarosa's arrival in St Petersburg at the invitation of Catherine the Great. It contains very little to stir the blood, least of all where you might expect it in the "Dies Irae"; the main interest lies in its rarity and the contribution of the bell-voiced Elly Ameling, especially in her slightly unusual "Tuba mirum", which has no "tuba", only two horns. The alto has a pleasantly smoky tone but is rather placid in manner. Things perk up in the "Recordare" where their duet sounds like a definite rip-off from the Pergolesi "Stabat Mater". The tenor makes a strange, grainy, mixed-falsetto sound and despatches his "Preces meae" neatly in this most operatic section. The bass is really a baritone; he has no low notes. The writing mainly features very conventional chordal progressions and stock ideas such as the obligatory "Amen" fugue in the "Lacrymosa". The orchestral playing is alert, the choir likewise, the sound good for 1969 with the voices rather prominent. ---Ralph Moore, amazon.com

 

Neapolitan composer Domenico Cimarosa started out as a church musician, but made his name in opera. His skills earned him court appointments, and one of them, in the mid-1780s, from Catherine the Great of Russia. It was for her court, to memorialize a deceased French ambassador, that this Requiem in G minor for soloists, chorus, and orchestra was composed in 1787. Taken for what it is, without expectation that it will much resemble Mozart's or Haydn's church music, it's an attractive work even if it's a trifle inadequate to its subject. The package blurb promises "vivid evocations" of the day of wrath and other such riches, but the music contains nothing of the sort. Instead you get some pretty rudimentary choruses surrounding some very operatic arias where you sense that Cimarosa was in his element. Most of them offer long, sustained melodies that can hold their own with the solos in Mozart's Vesperae solennes de confessore, K. 339, and other choral music of the period.

Mozart might easily have had this or other requiem settings in his head when composing his ultimate masterpiece, and anyone curious about Cimarosa's sacred output can be encouraged to give this album a try. ---James Manheim, Rovi

Gli Orazi e i Curiazi is an opera in three acts (azione tragica) composed by Domenico Cimarosa to a libretto by Antonio Simeone Sografi, based on Pierre Corneille's tragedy, Horace.

The opera was first staged on 26 December 1796 at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Italy . The première was so unsuccessful that Cimarosa, disappointed, decided to leave the town immediately. The run of the following performances turned into a big success, as would happen twenty years later with Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, and the second was even more successful. At least 49 performances were held throughout the season and the opera was later staged in the major European theatres — including Teatro La Scala in Milan and Napoleon’s imperial court in Paris In Europe during the 18th century Italian operas did not normally endure very long in theatres, hardly ever getting through one season. Gli Orazi e i Curiazi, however, kept running for several decades, even after the death of Cimarosa. In Venice, for example, the opera had four further runs during the six years following the première and "more than 130 performances" altogether were staged in the same period.

Synopsis

The action takes place in Rome during the war against the town of Alba Longa. The protagonists of the opera are two families, the Horatii from Rome and the Curiatii from Alba. In spite of the state of war the two families are connected as a girl from the Curiatii, Sabina, has married Marcus Horatius, the designate heir of the Roman family. During a truce in the war Horatius' daughter Horatia is in her turn given in marriage to her beloved Curiatius, leader of the Alban family. In order to avoid further major damage the two kings, Tullus Hostilius and Mettius Fufetius, reach an agreement to settle contention between the two towns through a limited encounter to the death between six champions, three from the Horatii and three from the Curiatii. The news of the agreement drives the two families to despair as the two sisters-in-law are doomed to weep over the death of either their husbands or their brothers.

In act two Horatia and Sabina, supported by the people and the priests, endeavour to prevent the abomination of a mortal challenge between relatives by swarming over the Campo Martio just as the struggle is about to start. They manage to wring a postponement in order to allow Apollo’s oracle to be consulted. Both families warriors accept this decision reluctantly. Act two ends in a grand scene in the vaults of Apollo’s temple: at first Curiatius and Horatia appear there alone, later they are joined by all the others and Curatius bewails the sad fate of those who are possibly going to shed their relatives' blood. Finally the oracle’s voice proclaims that the challenge must go on.

Act three is shorter than the others and is generally staged along with the act two. After a farewell scene between Curiatius and Horatia it shows the final encounter between Marcus Horatius, victorious in the fight, and his distressed sister. Horatia, rebelling against her fate, calls down curses from the gods upon her native town which has driven her husband to a bloody death and is in her turn slain by her furious ruthless brother and flung headlong down the staircase.
