Verdi returned to many of his scores after they had been premiered and it is well-known that Macbeth, Simon Boccanegra, La forza del destino and Don Carlos were thoroughly revised years after their debuts. La Traviata and Falstaff were modified to a lesser extent, although Verdi carried out these changes before his original version could make its mark in the opera houses of Europe. And while they were not permanent, major changes were made to Otello (a remake of the grande concertato in Act III),to Aida (an attempt to precede the opera with a large-scale Sinfonia), to Il Trovatore (Verdi added dance numbers for Paris) and to Rigoletto (the Paris version has an aria for Maddalena). Finally, Verdi overhauled two operas so radically that he even changed their titles and part of the plot. Thus I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata became Jérusalem in French and Stiffelio was turned into Aroldo.

Written by Giovanni Paisiello during his lengthy stay at the court of Catherine II, the opera was an enormous success and was still very famous at the time of the composer’s death the same year of Rossini’s Barbiere debut, strongly opposed by many who considered the work of the upstart to be a sacrilegious attack on the memory of Paisiello. The reductive transposition for libretto – probably the work of Giuseppe Petrosellini – of the play “Le barbier de Séville” by Pierre-Augustin de Beaurmarchais, successfully presented in St. Petersburg a few years earlier, determined the international success of the subject: the second text of the French trilogy gained the attention of Mozart, who proposed it to Da Ponte for Le nozze di Figaro (1786). For the premičre a first-class cast was hired (for the part of Almaviva Guglielmo Jermolli was called directly from Esterhŕza), and then performed throughout Europe, in Vienna in two languages and in five different theatres, parodied and translated, reduced to three acts by Giambattista Lorenzi for the Naples edition of 1787 (with new pieces written by Paisiello): the opera carried Paisiello’s already consistent popularity to stratospheric heights. The score contains a series of truly beautiful pieces: among its many arias the ones for Rosina are especially notable, where the sentimental character of the noble but unhappy girl is constantly underlined by the warm tones of the woodwinds, both in her introductory cavatina (“Lode al ciel”), where the flute answers her composed lament with elegiac tones and in the grandiose “Giŕ riede primavera”, where clarinet and bassoon alternate expressions of idyllic sweetness with affliction. The arias of the other protagonists are just as characteristic, for instance the count’s serenade with mandolin (“Saper bramate”), Bartolo’s aria with many comical melodic-rhythmic elements or the aria of the “calunnia” where a congenial state of agitation in the orchestra already prefigures Rossini. The ensemble pieces are also notable, such as the frenetic duet Bartolo-Rosina, developing unexpectedly directly from her cavatina; the “Don Basilio” quintet, with a grandiose form unsurpassed even by Mozart; and the trio “Ma dov’eri tu, stordito”, where yawns and sneezes are integrated into the music with boisterous comic effect, such that not even Rossini attempted to rival this famous piece.
