“Rossini’s rarely performed Elisabetta regina d’Inghilterra was his first opera for the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples. With the composer showcasing and indeed recycling some of his best music, it was an enormous success and allowed him to become established as the leading opera composer in Italy. The story revolves around Queen Elizabeth I (Elisabetta), whose romantic attachments expose her to murderous intrigues, and ends with her renouncement of love itself. This fast-moving production under the baton of Antonino Fogliani was described as ‘a colourful, sparkling festival of music’ in Die Deutsche Bühne.”

Die beiden führenden Opernkomponisten ihrer Zeit waren Rossini und Auber, der eine heute gefeiert, der andere weitgehend übersehen. 1831 produzierten Auber und sein langjähriger Librettist Eugène Scribe Le Philtre, das das Konzept der Petit Opéra auf die Spitze trieb und Rossinis Le Comte Ory sogar noch übertraf, indem es eine ländliche Szenerie darstellte, die nicht von arkadischen Hirten, sondern von einfachen Landleuten bevölkert war. Aubers französisch-italienischer Stil ist in den Ensembles des Werks zu hören, während die Oper ansonsten mit reichen Arien, Buffo-Elementen und reizvollen Cavatinas glänzt. Le Philtre war mit 243 Aufführungen ein voller Erfolg und inspirierte Donizettis L’elisir d’amore.

Gioachino Rossini was only 20 when he was commissioned to compose La scala di seta. It is one of four farsa comica operas which fed popular demand for this genre in Venice in the early 19th century and was wildly successful with its original audiences. Assisted by the silken ladder of the title, the diverting romantic intrigues of the narrative revolve around secretive assignations and obtuse misunderstandings, by no means helped by the presence of the slow-witted manservant Germano, in one of Rossini’s most successful comedies.
