Historical Background
Francesco Gasparini (1661–1727) was born near Lucca and stands as one of the most important Italian composers of the early 18th century. He composed more than 50 opere serie and over 15 comic intermezzi. Gasparini also worked as an accomplished singer, violinist, and keyboard player.
Intermezzi first appeared in Venice in 1706, and Gasparini was among the first composers to write in this genre. He eventually rose to become the leading opera composer in Venice. Gasparini later returned to Rome to supervise productions of several of his operas. While living in Rome, he composed Mirena e Floro (also known as Nana francese e Armena). He wrote this intermezzo for the court at Dresden in 1718, pairing it with Antonio Lotti’s opera seria L’Ascanio. For unknown reasons, Giovanni Bononcini collaborated with Gasparini in writing the work. Tu dolce mio core is one of our favorite duets to sing.
