Giambattista
Casti.
A memorable
musical competition
commissioned by the
emperor Joseph II took
place on 7 February 1786
as part of a festival in
the orangery of the
Schönbrunn palace. A
German Singspiel ensemble
performed Mozart’s
“Schauspieldirektor
†whilst Antonio
Salieri’s
“Prima la musica e
poi le parole†was
performed by the Italian
court singers and
musicians. This charming
opera satire belongs to
the genre of
“metamelodrammaâ
in which the opera
itself becomes the
subject of the action.
The people who are part
of an opera production,
for example the
librettist, composer and
prima donna, appear as
characters on the stage
and are presented in a
humorous self-reflection.
In this ‘theatre
about theatre’
Salieri parodies the
music from Giuseppe
Sarti’s
“Giulio
Sabino†in his
insert arias, thus
playing on the music
which was totally
familiar with the
audience of the time. By
reflecting on the
musical-dramatic style of
that period and
discussing whether
‘the word’
or ‘the
music’ should take
priority, this
masterpiece is considered
to be an early forerunner
to Richard
Strauss’s
“Capriccioâ€.<

Giuseppe Sarti’s
“Giulio
Sabino†have also
