Venetian playwright and pioneer of modern theatre Carlo Goldoni
(1707-1793) led a 'double life' as a librettist, authoring nearly
as many libretti as comedies- libretti which, born from the same
mind and the same hand that brought forth his famous, and famously
controversial, overhaul of the practices of comic theatre, could
not but push the limits of the standing tradition to open a new
chapter in opera history. Goldoni became one of the first to give
shape to the dramma giocoso per musica, an innovative, realistic,
and enduring new genre with intimate connections to prose comedy
that met with overwhelming international success, becoming the
foundation for the works of future generations, including W. A.
Mozart and his Italian librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. Perhaps because
of his stature and influence as a comic playwright, Goldoni has
rarely been considered as an innovator in the musical sphere. This
study aims to shed new light on his primary role in the evolution
of Classical opera, and on the legacy of his innovations in the
European musical tradition.
