Nové skutečnosti k operám L'elezione d'Antioco in rè della Siria a Cleonice e Demetrio uvedeným v Questenbergových Jaroměřicích v r. 1732. (Czech)

The study brings new information on two operas performed in Jaroměřice in autumn 1732. It is L'elezione d'Antioco in rě della Siria, composed by Ignazio M. Conti to the libretto by Giovanni Domenica Bonlini and commissioned directly by Count Questenberg, and Cleonice e Demetrio. Until recently this opera has been also considered a I. M. Conti's work however according to the latest research Conti did not compose it and the author is unknown. Both the operas were performed in Jaroměřice in autumn 1732 closely after each other, most probably on the occasion of the 20th birth and name day anniversary of Comtesse Marie Carolina von Questenberg. L'elezione d'Antioco in rě della Siria is a three-act opera seria with an atypical opera-ballet insertion from the pastorale Fetes de l'Amour et de Bacchus by J.-B. and the libretist Ph. Quinault instead of a common ballet after Act Two. The active participation of the aristocrats from Jaroměřice in the performances followed the example of the sovereign's court. The productions of the operas L'elezione d'Antioco in rě della Siria and Cleonice e Demetrio document also Questenberg's engagement in organizing noble entertainments for Moravian noblemen and also the fact that Jaroměřice at that time was one of the most outstanding Moravian centers, not only artistic one but also a social one.

Zatímco předchozí studie zabývající se provozovací praxí na scéně zámeckého divadla v Jaroměřicích za hraběte Johanna Adama Questenberga byla věnována opeře Merope Riccarda Broschiho, která zde byla poprvé provedena na podzim 1737 a o rok později reprízována, přináší tato studie nové informace ke dvěma operám provedeným v Jaroměřicích na podzim 1732. Jsou jimi L'elezione d'Antioco in re della Siria, vytvořená Ignaziem M. Contim přímo na objednávku hraběte Questenberga, a dále Cleonice e Demetrio. Posledně jmenovaná opera byla donedávna považována za dílo téhož skladatele, avšak ten podle posledních výzkumů jejím autorem není. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
