Rossini’s Adina is a one-act farsa sentimentale or semiseria set in a seraglio in Baghdad where we find the Caliph determined to marry Adina who is also loved by Selimo. To this standard story Rossini brought an unexpected psychological depth, augmented by coloratura arias and male choruses of richness and daring. However, for unknown reasons he omitted a vital Terzetto, which has made the work problematic to fully realise in performance. This recording employs the Terzetto from Giovanni Pacini’s opera La schiava in Bagdad, a solution first proposed in 1861, much to the benefit of the opera’s pacing.
Gioachino Rossini: Adina – Luciano Acocella
Adina ovvero Il Callifo di Bagdad
Splende sereno e fulgido
Andate!
Fragolette fortunate
Vezzosa Adina
Quanto d’intorno vedi
E tu mel chiedi?
Tu sospiri? Incerta stai?
Or vola, amico
Se non m’odii, o mio tesoro
Che ti arresta, o Signor?
D’intorno il serraglio
S’alza la notte
Giusto ciel, che i dubbi miei
Ahi! ahi! Che avvenne?
Nel lasciarti, o caro albergo
Oh! sconoscente Adina
Pur troppo la donna
Sì, dalla mia presenza
Apri i begli occhi
Dove sono?
