Il prigionier superbo
''Il prigionier superbo'' (The Proud Prisoner) is an ''opera seria'' in three acts composed by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi to a libretto attributed to Gennaro Antonio Federico and based on an earlier libretto by Francesco Silvani for Gasparini's opera, ''La fede tradita e vendicata''. It was premiered at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples on 5 September 1733 and received further performances in October. The opera, with its labrythine plot involving the rivalry of Metalce (King of the Goths) and Viridate (Prince of Denmark) for the hand of Rosmene (a Norwegian princess whose father is Metalce's prisoner), soon sank into oblivion, but its comic intermezzo, ''La serva padrona'' (also by Pergolesi) was to achieve considerable success when performed on its own.
==Performance history==
''Il prigionier superbo'' was Pergolesi's second ''opera seria''. The libretto has been attributed to Gennaro Antonio Federico and was based on the one written by Francesco Silvani for Francesco Gasparini's 1704 opera, ''La fede tradita e vendicata'' (Faith Betrayed and Vindicated). It was commissioned to celebrate Empress Elisabeth Christine's birthday and premiered at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples on 5 September 1733.〔Premiere date as given in Hucke and Monson and in Gelli (2007). Note that Casaglia (2005) gives the premiere date (erroneously) as 28 August 1733, the actual date of the Empress's birthday〕
The performance also marked the re-opening of Naples' theatres following the violent earthquake which had struck the area on 29 November 1732. The opera continued to be performed in October of that year along with its comic intermezzo, ''La serva padrona''. ''Il prigionier'' proved unsuccessful in its day and has only been rarely revived. However, ''La serva padrona'' performed on its own eventually went on to enjoy fame throughout Europe for many years after its premiere.〔Grout and Williams (2003) p. 232〕
The first production of ''Il prigionier'' in modern times took place at the Teatro Pergolesi in Jesi on 27 September 1997 with a score revised by Marcello Panni.〔Muraro and Biggi (1998) pp. 105-106.〕 The next major revival came on 11 September 2009, again at the Teatro Pergolesi, this time using a new critical edition of the score prepared by Claudio Toscani for the Fondazione Pergolesi-Spontini. The production, performed on period instruments, was directed by Henning Brockhaus with Corrado Rovaris conducting the Accademia Barocca de I Virtuosi Italiani.〔Fondazione Pergolesi-Spontini, 10 September 2009〕
