Adriano in Siria (Hadrian in Syria) is an opera - libretto , a dramma per musica in three acts by Pietro Metastasio , an Italian poet and librettist, who at the imperial Viennese Charles VI. worked. It has been set to music by numerous composers. The first setting by Antonio Caldara was premiered on November 9, 1732 at the Vienna Court Theater on the emperor's name day.
A German translation of the libretto by Johann Anton Koch appeared in 1769 under the name Hadrianus in Syria in the first volume of his unfinished complete edition Des Herr Abbot Peter Metastasio Kayserl. Royal Court Poet's Dramatic Poems. He published the translation of another libretto version in 1776 under the name Hadrianus in Syria, modified in the eighth volume.
action
The action takes place around 117 AD in the city of Antioch . Emperor Adriano ( Hadrian ) is engaged to Sabina , the great niece of his predecessor in office, the Roman Emperor Trajan . However, Sabina is desired by Adriano's confidante Aquilio. Emperor Adriano had defeated the Parthians and occupied their capital. Among the numerous prisoners is Princess Emirena, daughter of the Parthian king Osroa ( Osroes I ). Her fiancé Farnaspe has come to negotiations. King Osroa himself is in his retinue, unrecognized. Emperor Adriano falls in love with the beautiful princess Emirena. Osroa undertakes several unsuccessful assassinations against Adriano.
The emperor has to choose between loyalty to his fiancée or marriage to the Parthian princess, who promises lasting peace for both peoples. The intrigues culminate. Virtue wins over passion. Moved by the generosity of Emirena, who is willing to renounce Farnaspe for the sake of peace, the good ruler releases all prisoners and renounces the beloved Emirena, whose happiness with Farnaspe is now no longer in the way.
“Adrianus was in Antioch, and had already defeated the Parthians when he was raised to the imperial throne. There was also among other prisoners the princess Emirena, a daughter of the vanquished king, from whose beauty the new Kayser badly protected his heart, although he had long been engaged to Sabina, a niece of his benevolent ancestor. He used the imperial power for the first time, to grant the conquered peoples a generous peace, and to invite all Asiatic princes to Antioch, but especially Osroas, father of the beautiful Emirena. He fervently wanted to marry her, and would have wished that each one would have considered such a necessary bond to be established, a lasting friendship between Rome and Asia. Perhaps he himself would also consider it to be, since it was an all too common mistake, by changing the name of things, to imagine that one as a praiseworthy goal, which is only a means to satisfy one's own desire. The barbarian king, however, an implacable enemy of the Roman name, although fleeting and defeated, despised the friendly invitation and went to Antioch, unknown to Antioch, among the entourage of Farnaspes, a prince who could be eaten by him, whom he constantly urged, the captive daughter, so I have already promised to marry, to make free through requests and shame; so that afterwards, when such a dear pledge was snatched from the enemy's hands, he could seek that vengeance in accordance with his desperate rage all the more freely. Meanwhile, Sabina, having heard the election of her Adriani to the imperial throne, and not yet knowing anything about his new love, ran from Rome in Syria, eager to find him there, and to perform the desired marriage with him. The doubting mind of the emperor, between the love that wears against the Parthian princess, and the violence of the obligation that calls her back to Sabina: the virtue-full transference of this: Osroa's secret stalking, whose guilt falls on the innocent Farnaspes And the frenzy of Emirena, now because of her father, now because of her lover, and now because of her own danger, are the instincts under which Adriani's lulled virtue gradually revives itself; who at last a victor over his love, the enemy the kingdom; the wife of the fellow rival; his heart is Sabina, but gives himself his first glory again. "
The following table of contents is based on the libretto of the setting performed in Naples in 1734 by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi .
first act
Adriano and his confidante Aquilio arrive in his triumphal chariot on the large square of Antioch. The defeated Parthians Farnaspe and Osroa present gifts. Farnaspe swears allegiance to Adriano and asks him to be allowed to leave with his fiancée, Osroa's daughter Emirena. Adriano allows it on condition that Emirena agrees.
Adriano's confidante Aquilio loves his fiancée Sabina. It is therefore an advantage for him if Adriano marries Emirena. He advises Emirena to hide her feelings for Farnaspe from Adriano so as not to arouse his jealousy. Farnaspe feels rejected by her. However, Adriano's hopes for Emirena are strengthened.
When Sabina unexpectedly arrives from Rome, Adriano is confused and does not know how to behave towards her. Aquilio reveals to her that Adriano has fallen in love with Emirena.
Osroa set the palace on fire. Farnaspe tries to save Emirena and is mistaken for the arsonist. He and Emirena ensure their love.
Second act
Sabina accuses Emirena of her relationship with Adriano. She rejects this and convinces her that her real love is Farnaspe. Sabina promises to help her escape with Aquilio. She wants to expect them the next morning at a spring in the royal garden.
Adriano confesses to Sabina his relationship with Emirena. She is outraged and reproaches him. He promises to return to her. Aquilio arrives and asks for Emirena.
At the spring in the garden, Emirena awaits Farnaspe and Sabina. Sabina explains the escape route to them and leaves them. Farnaspe and Emirena ensure their love. Before they can go, however, they hear the noise of guns. Emirena is hiding. Osroa arrives with a bloody sword in hand. He tells Farnaspe how he killed Adriano and goes into hiding too. He is observed by Emirena, who has not recognized her father. Then comes Adriano, who was unharmed, and now accuses Farnaspe of attempted regicide. Emirena reveals the hiding place of the real culprit. Since he shows no remorse, the angry Adriano has Osroa, Farnaspe and Emirena arrested. Emirena asks her father for forgiveness, which he grants her. The three are led away individually.
Third act
Aquilio tells Sabina that Adriano knows about her help in the escape of Emirenas and Farnaspes. He had banished her as a punishment and she should leave immediately by ship. Aquilio asks her to obey the order and trust him, as he wants to speak to Adriano again.
When Aquilio speaks to Adriano, he looks for a suitable reason to hold Sabina back, but cannot find one. Aquilio advises him to ask Osroa for Emirena's hand, to release him in return and to give him his kingdom back. Osroa seems to agree. Adriano has his chains removed and Emirena fetched. Osroa is now implacable and orders his daughter to turn away the emperor. Adriano feels mocked and leaves. Osroa is now asking his daughter for proof of her loyalty. She should kill the emperor. However, she firmly rejects this.
The desperate Farnaspe asks Emirena to give in to the emperor. This is the only way she can save her father and her homeland.
At the port, Sabina is stopped by Adriano. He asks her why she suddenly wants to leave without saying goodbye. She points out to him that it was he who had banished her. This is how Aquilio's intrigue is exposed. Emirena and Farnaspe join in and ask Adriano for mercy for Osroa. Emirena now agrees to marry him if he still wants to. Impressed by so much willingness to make sacrifices, Adriano releases Osroa, forgives Aquilio, accepts Sabina again and unites Farnaspe and Emirena.
