The Miser – Gasparini « Le Poème Harmonique

The Miser – Gasparini

The reform of Italian opera in the 18th century was largely inspired by French theatre, and Molière, in lingua italiana, was widely heard on opera stages in the 18th century.

Even while reducing the number of characters, the librettist Salvi, who had already drawn inspiration from Molière’s theatre on several occasions, loses none of the comic force of Jean-Baptiste Pocquelin’s L’Avare in this Avaro.

Gasparini’s music illustrates this delightful libretto in the most expressive and immediately appealing way.
