- Rossini
-.
Composed in 1818
on commission from an
unknown individual in
Lisbon, Adina was left to
languish some years until
its premiere in 1826,
with a single performance
in that city remaining
virtually the only one on
record until the opera's
revival in 1963. The
present vocal score is
based on the critical
edition of the orchestral
full score prepared by
Fabrizio Della Seta and
published by the
Fondazione Rossini of
Pesaro in collaboration
with Casa Ricordi. This
Edition reconstructs for
the first time the
structure of the
autograph score, which
reflects the collective
contributions of at least
five different hands:
having composed only four
entirely new numbers and
repurposed another three
from Sigismondo, Rossini
relied upon collaborators
and copyists for the
remainder of the music.
Della Seta's detailed
examination of this
fundamental document
(housed at the Fondazione
Rossini) together with an
informed assessment of
the secondary sources,
including a complete
manuscript copy (housed
at the British Library in
London), various
manuscript vocal parts
with Rossini's autograph
interventions (housed in
the Royal Conservatory of
Brussels), and the first
edition of the vocal
score published by
Ricordi between 1855 and
1859, additionally
reveals how the libretto
printed in Lisbon for
that single historic
performance in 1826
differed substantially
from the narrative
disposition of the
autograph score, with
ample cuts and
modifications (among
those the suppression of
the Aria Alì and
the addition of a Coro).
While neither
attributable to Rossini
himself nor pertaining to
his original conceptual
design of the opera, this
Coro, the music of which
survives in the first
vocal score, is included
as an Appendix to the
edition.
