A review of the premiere that was performed on October 4: mostlyopera.blogspot.com/…/copenhagen-andr… The cast: Partenope: Inger Dam-Jensen Arsace: Andreas Scholl Armindo: Christophe Dumaux Rosmira: Tuva Semmingsen Emilio: Bo Kristian Jensen Ormonte: Palle Knudsen Concerto Copenhagen, Lars Ulrik Mortensen Handel wrote Partenope in 1730, a time in his life when he was free to choose a wider range of librettos. "It was Handel's first comic opera, which broke away from the Opera Seria tradition. It was rejected by the Royal Academy of Music, because of its frivolous nature, with relatively few extended arias and more recitative." - Wikipedia. PARTENOPE Un cor infedele si deve punir. ARSACE (Che pena crudele! Mi sento morir!) ROSMIRA Un anima ingrata si deve sprezzar. ARSACE (Sei troppo spietata, potessi parlar!) PARTENOPE e ROSMIRA Amante incostante nel regno d'amore che pensi di far? ARSACE (Che fiero dolore tacere e penar!) Translation: PARTHENOPE Avenging justice should pursue the heart whose love was never true. ARSACES (Ah! how I faint with cruel pains! Death shivers in my frozen veins.) ROSMIRA The guilt of an ungrateful breast each mortal should with scorn detest. ARSACES (Your cruelty is too severe; ah, could I utter what I bear!) PARTENOPE and ROSMIRA What has the heart, inclin'd to rove, to hope for in the realms of love? ARSACES (What tortures do that bosom fill that suffers, and is silent still?)
