''Lo speziale'' (''The Apothecary''), Hob. 28/3, is a three-act opera buffa by Joseph Haydn, with a libretto by Carlo Goldoni. A love triangle between the poor apprentice Mengone, the rich and assured dandy Volpino, and the local apothecary's ward, Grilletta, ''Lo speziale'' is a comedy of great warmth and ebullience. ''Lo speziale'' prefigures Mozart. It opens with an aria complaining about an apprentice apothecary's job, much like Leporello's opening aria in ''Don Giovanni''. The trouser role of Volpino reminds one of Cherubino in ''Le nozze di Figaro'' and the young lovers' use of disguises will call ''Cosi fan tutte'' to mind. The opera is scored for two flutes, two oboes, bassoon, two horns, strings, continuo. ==Performance history== It was composed and first performed to popular and critical acclaim at Eszterháza in the autumn of 1768. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lo speziale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
