La serva padrona
''La serva padrona'' (''The Servant Turned Mistress'') is an opera buffa by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) to a libretto by Gennaro Antonio Federico, after the play by Jacopo Angello Nelli. The opera is only 45 minutes long and was originally performed as an intermezzo between the acts of a larger serious opera. (The same libretto was set by Giovanni Paisiello in 1781.)
==Performance history==
''La serva padrona'' was originally an intermezzo to Pergolesi's opera seria, ''Il prigionier superbo'' (The Proud Prisoner). The two were premiered on 5 September 1733, the first performance after an earthquake in Naples had caused all theatres to be closed, and celebrated the birthday of the Empress of Habsburg.
''Il prigioniero superbo'' was unsuccessful in its day〔Grout and Williams (2003), p. 232〕 and is not a recognized title in today’s operatic repertoire. Eventually the two pieces were separated, and ''La serva padrona'' went on to enjoy fame throughout Europe for years after its premiere. The importance of this intermezzo can hardly be overlooked in the history of opera. With a new finale, the French version played a large part in the Querelle des Bouffons. It was appealing because of its presentation of characters that were relatable to any audience, namely the cunning maid and her aging master. ''La serva padrona'' is often seen as the quintessential piece that bridges the gap from the Baroque to the Classical period. Owing to its importance, over time it came to be known as more than just an intermezzo and was performed as a stand-alone work.
