Info for Vinci: Didone abbandonata



Didone abbandonata was one of the greatest successes in the rather brief operatic career of Leonardo Vinci, a musician who apparently led an adventurous life, based on what little we know about it. Written for Rome’s Teatro delle Dame, the opera was premièred during the 1726 Carnival season. It marked the start of a fruitful collaboration between Vinci and Pietro Metastasio – in the four years following Didone abbandonata, Metastasio went on to write no fewer than five new librettos for Vinci. The success of that Rome première is replicated in this live recording from the Teatro de Firenze, which represents the first modern performance of Didone abbandonata and the revival of one of the great masterpieces of early 18th-century opera.

“I am a Queen and I am a lover / and I want the Empire for myself / of my throne and of my heart”: these are the words which the poet Pietro Metastasio gave to Dido, the Queen of Carthage. The opera takes inspiration from the myth to present a resolute and proud woman, abandoned by her lover Aeneas, bothered by a suitor - Iarbas - who she does not want, tricked by her sister Anna, who she discovered was Aeneas’s lover, and betrayed by her confidante Osmida. The opera was a great success during the 1724 carnival in Naples, which led to more than 60 different musical versions: Metastasio’s libretto was also taken on by Händel, Paisiello and Mercadante. The version proposed here is from 1726 by Leonardo Vinci, considered to be one of the most important interpreters of the Neapolitan operatic school.
