Re-creation in French premiere. 30th anniversary of the creation of Les Talens Lyriques
The first known position occupied by Carlo Pallavicino was that of organist at the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, in 1665. The following year, the Teatro San Moisè in Venice staged its first opera, Demetrio, Aureliano e Il tiranno humiliato (presented after he left Venice). He was called to Dresden, in the service of the elector Johann George II of Saxony as vice-Kapellmeister; then in 1672, he was elevated to the rank of Kapellmeister. His opera Le amazoni nell’isole fortunate was created to mark the inauguration of the private theatre of the Procurator of Saint Mark Contarini, which was opened in Piazzola sul Brenta, near his Palladian villa and where the composer was subsequently hired. The libretto tells that, defeated at the Battle of Thermodon, the Amazons retreated to settle on the Fortunate Islands. King Sultan took it into his head to enslave and reign over them. By the stratagem of a feigned shipwreck, he lands his captain Anapiet on their shore, under the assumed name of Numidio, a corsair. Pulcheria, princess of the Amazons, falls in love with the corsair who stays in her land. He thus succeeds in gaining her confidence and discovering her intentions. The music and staging of Amazzoni nell’Isole fortunate, which took place during the months usually devoted to vacationing in the Venetian countryside, was acclaimed as one of the most successful in the Republic of Venice in the second half of the 17th century.
