McLauchlan, Fiona. Nicola
Francesco
Haym.
Handel
completed his opera
“Ottone†in
August 1722, but the
first performance did not
take place until January
1723 in the Haymarket
Theatre, London; the
composer had waited so
long for the famous
soprano Francesca Cuzzoni
who he had in mind for
the role of Teofane.
“Ottone†was
an immediate success from
the beginning, not only
for its top-class cast
but also because of its
formal and musical
structure. It received
numerous revivals until
1733.
Stylistically,
“Ottoneâ€
follows in the Neapolitan
opera tradition with
emotionally charged arias
as the principal vehicles
of expression, whilst the
plot is carried forward
in the secco
recitatives.
The
dramatic action is
interpreted and
intensified through the
choice of arias and
keys.
The vocal
score is based on volume
II/12 of the “Halle
Handel Edition†(BA
4077), which contains the
complete critical musical
text of the opera for the
first time.
