Metastasio.
As with
many other libretti by
Pietro Metastasio,
“Ezio†was
also set to music several
times – besides
Handel, by Nicola Porpora
in 1728 and Christoph
Willibald Gluck in 1750.
As the historical events
from late antiquity
surrounding the Western
Roman General Aëtius,
who had defeated the Huns
under Attila on the
Catalaunian Fields, had
largely fallen into
oblivion by the 18th
century, they merely form
a backdrop to the
highly-dramatic
“Sex and
Crime†on the
operatic stage. In
contrast with the
original Roman story,
“Ezioâ€
remains alive at the
“happy
endingâ€, and the
enthusiastic public
experienced this version
for the first time on 15
January 1732 in London
.
However,
despite this, the opera
only received five
performances during
Handel’s lifetime.
Handel took the overture
from his incomplete opera
“Titus
l’Empereurâ€.
The new vocal
score is based on Vol.
II/26 of the Halle Handel
Edition (BA
4086).
