- Synopsis:
Nicola Vaccaj belonged to the Neapolitan School. He was a pupil of Paisiello and a contemporary of Rossini, whose fame somewhat obscured his own. But he was well enough known and appreciated during his day that an extract from the last Act of his Giulietta e Romeo was chosen as a substitute for the same aria in Bellinis / Capuleti e / Montecchi for an 1832 performance. This arrangement remained common practice until the end of the 19th century. Its hard to believe, therefore, that Vaccajs most notable success has been neglected for such a long time, since it is an opera that could easily hold its own among the better-known works in the bel canto canon. It has a taut plot, with a strong libretto written by Romani, and is full of well-constructed ensemble pieces. - Studio:
