Giulio Sabino ("Julius Sabinus") is a dramma per musica (opera seria) in three acts by Giuseppe Sarti. The libretto was by Pietro Giovannini. The opera which is about the triumph of conjugal love. It is set in 1st century Gaul in the time of the Emperor Vespasian.

The opera, staged in six or seven European countries at the end of the 18th century, was the subject of a parody in Antonio Salieri's 1786 work Prima la musica e poi le parole.

It was first performed at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice on 3 January 1781. The opera was revived in Ravenna in 1999.

 

Sarti was a contemporary of Mozart's and an extremely popular composer at that time. During the dinner at the end of "Don Giovanni", the orchestra plays excerpts from popular operas at the time, including Sarti's "Due Litiganti". However Sarti has been all but forgotten, there are very few recordings of his music so this set is a welcome (if pricey) opportunity to hear what else was going on around Mozart and Haydn in their heyday.

This is a 3 act opera seria, centering on the noble attempt by the Kings of the Sabines to resist the conquering Romans and protect his family. There are the standard opera seria arias about strength, love, despair, honor versus romance, etc. but Sarti manages to keep the pace moving despite the genre's somewhat stagnant conventions. Dry recitative is kept to a minimum except for a few spots, and amidst the majority of solo da capo arias Sarti colorfully utilizes orchestral recitatives, ensembles and instrumental asides. In addition, Sarti's pacing of the arias (how a certain mood, tempo or orchestral color follows another) is perfectly balanced, the music is never boring. It's also extremely technically difficult, and would be incredible save for the merely competent cast and subpar recorded sound from a live performance. Sonia Prina expectedly is the standout, handling the roulades of notes and sustained lyricism of the title character with assurance and her signature rich, bubbly/reedy contralto. Academia Bizantina is lush, transparent or forceful as the music requires (if somewhat reserved compared to other Italian period instrument groups). The rest of the cast is competent, never disappointing but rarely awe-inspiring.

At this price this one is probably a sure bet for aficionados, but otherwise not a must-have. ---AJS, amazon.com
