Mateo Falcone (opera)
''Mateo Falcone'' (''Матео Фальконе'' in Cyrillic; ''Mateo Fal'kone'' in transliteration) is a one-act opera composed by César Cui during 1906-1907. (Actually, Cui designated the genre of this work as "dramatic scene.") The libretto was adapted by the composer from Prosper Merimée's like-named story from 1829 and Vasily Zhukovsky's verse rendering thereof. It was premiered on 14 December 1907 (Old Style), at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow (the work was given along with the composer's early one-act comic opera, ''The Mandarin's Son''). The premiere production of ''Mateo'' was a failure; the work never became part of the standard operatic repertoire in Russia, and seems never to have been performed again.
==Background==
This opera constitutes the last of three short serious operas by this composer, the other two being ''Feast in Time of Plague'' and ''Mademoiselle Fifi''.
The musical setting of the text of ''Mateo Falcone'' has a declamatory-melodic character, in keeping with the composer's veneration, if not slavish emulation, of Alexander Dargomyzhsky's method of "melodic recitative," which had been most thoroughly demonstrated in ''The Stone Guest''. There are no extractable "numbers" from this opera to speak of, although highlights include the orchestral passages that suggest the rustic scenery with a kind of barcarolle, and the intimate Latin prayer near the end (a setting of "Ave Maria"), which is reminiscent of the composer's art songs.
