Tommaso Giordani
Tommaso Giordani (c.1730 to 1733 – before 24 February 1806) was an Italian composer active in England and particularly in Ireland.
==Life==
Giordani was born in Naples between 1730 and 1733 and came from a musical family. His father was Giuseppe Giordani senior, born around 1695 in Naples, died after 1762, probably in London (no relation to the Neapolitan organist Carmine Giordani b. 1685). A younger brother was Giuseppe Giordani (1751–1798),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.conservatorio.net/cms/testi.php?id_rub=129370569800000&id_testo=129370801129687 )〕 called "Giordanello". Tommaso was trained in Naples and moved with the family via Graz (1747), Salzburg and Frankfurt (1750), Amsterdam (1752) and Paris (1753) to London, where they performed four burlettas at Covent Garden in the 1753–4 season.〔Klein, Axel: "Giordani, Tommaso", in: ''Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart'' (MGG), biographical part, vol. 7 (Kassel: Bärenreiter, 2002), cc. 990–992.〕 Although the family performed in London for the next two years, Tommaso is not mentioned in the newspaper reports of the time
His whereabouts in the following eight years are unknown. In 1764, he accepted an invitation to act as musical director of the Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, where he stayed for the next three years, performing comic operas and co-produced the first ever opera seria to be performed in Ireland, ''L'eroe cinese'' (1766). Following accusations of plagiarism, he went back to London in 1767, where for the next 16 years he was relatively successful as an opera composer.
From 1783, Giordani returned to live in Ireland for the remainder of his life. He was particularly active in opera, as both composer and impresario. He had a stake in the short-lived 'English Opera House', which he founded in 1783 and which produced works by Irish composers and librettists, also in a music shop, neither of which was financially successful. Among his pupils were Lady Morgan, Thomas Simpson Cooke, and John Field, the inventor of the nocturne, who made his debut at one of Giordani's Rotunda concerts (4 April 1792). He died in Dublin.
