Calzabigi, Raniero da

    0.07 sec.

Calzabigi, Raniero da (1714–1795)

Italian literary critic and author. From 1762 he collaborated with Christoph Willibald von Gluck in the more dramatically convincing ‘reform’ operas: Orfeo ed Euridice (1762), Alceste (1767), and Paride ed Elena (1770).

His first libretti were in the dry, formal style of Pietro Metastasio. After living in Paris and Vienna for a time, he returned to Italy in the 1770s. His last work, set by Giovanni Paisiello, returns to his earlier manner.
