PERGOLESI DOUBLE BILL

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (4 January 1710 - 16 or 17 March 1736) was a leading Italian Baroque composer, violinist, and organist; he is considered one of the greatest Italian musicians of the first half of the 18th century and one of the most important representatives of the Neapolitan school.

He managed to create works of high artistic value and historical importance, among which were La serva padrona (The Maid Turned Mistress), for the development of opera buffa in Europe; Salve Regina and Stabat Mater, among the most important works of sacred music of all time.

In the first half of the double bill, we present Pergolesi’s Salve Regina in C-minor featuring mezzo soprano, Lim Yee Fen and KLCO String Quartet. Pre-performance talk by Dr. Bernard Tan.

In the second half, La Serva Padrona (The Maid Turned Mistress). Uberto, an elderly bachelor, is angry and impatient with his maidservant, Serpina, because she has has become so arrogant that she thinks she is the mistress of the household. Serpina forbids him from leaving the house, adding that from then on he will have to obey her orders. Uberto thereupon orders Vespone to find him a woman to marry so that he can rid himself of Serpina. 

Serpina convinces Vespone to trick Uberto into marrying her. She informs Uberto that she is to marry a military man named Tempesta. She will be leaving his home and apologizes for her behavior. Vespone, disguised as Tempesta, arrives and, without saying a word, demands 4,000 crowns for a dowry. Uberto refuses to pay and  Tempesta threatens him to either pay or marry the girl himself. Serpina and Vespone reveal their trick; but Uberto realizes that he has loved the girl all along. They will marry and Serpina will now be the true mistress of the house. Pre-performance talk by Dr. Bernard Tan.
