- Summary:
- "This is the first publication of the one-act "salon opera" (for two sopranos, tenor, baritone) with piano accompaniment by Manuel del Pópulo Vicente García (1775-1832). Renowned as the opening-night Almaviva in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, García was one of the greatest of the bel canto tenors. Apart from a performing career that took him from Madrid to Naples, London, New York, and Mexico City, García was a master teacher of singing and prolific composer. L'isola disabitata (1831), one of five "salon operas" composed after García had retired from the stage, was intended for performance by his students in Paris. A charming work in its own right, based on one of Metastasio's most popular librettos, the opera offers insight into García's bel canto style as well as his pedagogical method. This edition presents the score with libretto, translation, and performance notes useful for an understanding of bel canto in the early nineteenth century." -- Provided by publisher.
