Pimpinone

    0.01 sec.

Pimpinone

Three intermezzos by Tomaso Albinoni (libretto by P Pariati), produced with the opera Astarto in Venice, in 1708. As with Pergolesi's La serva padrona, the intermezzo is now better known than the opera seria for which it was intended to provide light relief. In the story, Vespetta persuades elderly Pimpinone to employ her as a servant. She then makes him promise to marry her, after which she seeks pleasure elsewhere.

Intermezzo by Georg Philipp Telemann, produced at Hamburg in 1725.
