Ed. critica di Ivano Bettin - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frig?-Some few months after returning to Naples from Rome where he had gone to follow the premiere of L?Olimpiade at the Teatro Tordinona during the 1735 carnival season Giovanni Battista Pergolesi ?? notwithstanding the quickened pace of the disease that would soon bring his brief life to a close ? presented the public with a new work Il Flaminio a ?commedeja pe? mmuseca? set to a libretto by Gennarantonio Federico. The opera was staged as the second of season that fall at the Teatro Nuovo sopra Toledo (one of three traditional venues together with the Teatro dei Fiorentini and the Teatro della Pace dedicated to the production of opere bu e) where it met with a generally favorable reception. The edition includes a historical Introduction a description of all the sources considered and a Commentary with critical notes and information related to specific problems of performance practice.

Although almost unanimously condemned by contemporary Parisian critics for its overt sexuality and graphic final scene Carmen ultimately reached the public in a way that perhaps no other opera has. Bizet's aim (with Meilhac and Halevy who wrote the libretto) had been to transform the flaccid moralistic bourgeois genre of opéra comique into a more sophisticated type of staged work and he seems to have suceeded in Carmen. Each character has a musical significance and a unique expressive idiom the ultimate example being the dangerous exotic sensual Carmen herself depicted by an exotic and sinewy chromatic motive that also implies the insurmountable power of fate. Ina classic plot device she is contrasted with the 'good girl' of the opera Micaela whose main aria is set in the ternary form of the elevated bel canto French Grand Opera aria to imply her traditionally 'ladylike' retiring nature. Don José's musical styles reflect different levels in his descent from dutiful soldier to the underworld of obsession. This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score with an English translation by Ruth and Thomas Martin.
