l burbero di buon cuore (The Good-Hearted Curmudgeon)

Is an
opera dramma giocoso in two acts by
Vicente Martín y Soler. The
Italian libretto by
Lorenzo da Ponte (vedi
pdf) is based on the
French comedy by
Carlo Goldoni. The opera premiered on January 4, 1786 in
Vienna at the
Burgtheater with a cast that included three well known Viennese singers of the day:
Nancy Storace as Angelica,
Francesco Benucci as Ferramondo, and
Maria Mandini as Marina.
[1] The opera premiered in the same year and at the same house as
Mozart's
Le nozze di Figaro, and both operas enjoyed revivals at the Burgtheater three years later — each boasting two new arias for new leading ladies. The new arias for
Il burbero di buon cuore ("
Chi sa, chi sa, qual sia"
K. 582 in Act I and "
Vado, ma dove?" K. 583 in Act II, both for Lucilla
[2]) were actually composed by Mozart, as Martín y Soler had left Vienna to work at the court of
Catherine the Great in
St. Petersburg. The opera recently received its first modern revival in 2007 at the
Teatro Real in
Madrid, a performance which was videotaped live and released on DVD in 2009.
