Artaserse is an opera - libretto in three acts by Pietro Metastasio . With more than 90 settings, it is his most popular work. It was first performed in the setting by Leonardo Vinci on February 4, 1730 in the Teatro delle Dame in Rome.
A German translation of the libretto by Johann Anton Koch appeared in 1769 under the name Artaxerxes in the first volume of his unfinished complete edition Des Herr Abbot Peter Metastasio Kayserl. Royal Court Poet's Dramatic Poems.
action
The Persian King Xerxes I is murdered by his commander in chief Artabano ( Artabanos ). This directs suspicion on Xerxes' eldest son Dareios, who is then executed on the orders of his younger brother Artaserse ( Artaxerxes I. ).
“When Artabanus, commander of the royal bodyguard of Xerxes saw that the power of his king was decreasing from day to day after so many battles lost against the Greeks; he intended to sacrifice Xerxes and the whole royal family to his honor, and then to swing himself on the Persian throne. To the end he availed himself of the opportunity which his master’s familiarity and friendship gave him, by going into the Xerxes' bedroom at night and killing him. Thereupon he embittered the royal Printzen of Xerxes one against the other in such a way that Artaxerxes, one of the imaginary Printzen, had his own brother Darium executed, in the opinion brought to him by Artabano that he was the father-murderer. The traitor lacked nothing more to accomplish his plan than the death of Artaxerxes, which Artabano had intended for him, but was prevented by various coincidences (which make up most of this poem) because the betrayal had been discovered, and Artaxerxes was thereby secured; what discovery and security it is on which this drama is based. (Justin. In the 3rd B. in the I. Cap. [)]
The show stage presents the city of Susa as the residence of the Persian monarchs. "
The following table of contents is based on the libretto of the setting performed in Dresden in 1740 by Johann Adolph Hasse.
first act
Garden inside the Palace of the Persian King by moonlight
Since Arbace was banished from Susa by King Serse because of his love affair with his daughter Mandane, the two sadly say goodbye to each other. After Mandane leaves, Arbace's father Artabano arrives. He has just murdered the king and asks his son to take the murder weapon, a bloody sword, with him and hide it. Arbace is on his way.
Artabano set out to destroy the entire royal family. When Prince Artaserse tells him about the murder of his father, he directs suspicion on his brother Dario. Artaserse asks him for help in punishing the perpetrator. Artabanus orders his soldiers to kill Dario. He rejects Artaserses concerns. Artabano's confidante Megabise also urges immediate action and advises Artaserse to take his father's ruthlessness as an example. Artaserse is not convinced.
Megabise tells Semira about the murder of Serse and the alleged perpetrator Dario. She worries about Artaserse and is puzzled by Megabise's indifference. He advises her to look for a lover of her own class because her current lover Artaserse would not marry her even if he survived as the new king. Semira knows that Megabise is pursuing its own interests and rejects him accordingly. Alone again, she prays to the gods for Artaserse's protection.
Large galleries in the royal castle
Artaserse tells the scared Mandane that he wants to try to save his brother from Artabano. However, Artabano informs them that Dario is already dead and Artaserse is now king. Then Semira comes with the news that Dario wasn't the murderer after all. The guards caught the real culprit on the run. His name is not yet known, but Mandane and Artabane secretly fear it is Arbace. Artaserse blames itself. He asks the others to help him. He also lifts the banishment of his friend Arbace. Now Arbace is brought in by the guard. He protests his innocence, but does not want to give any reasons for his escape, the bloody sword and his suspicious behavior. Artaserse doesn't know how to stand by his friend who once saved his life. Even Arbace's father Artabano turns away from him and demands an objective judgment from Artaserse. Artaserse is undecided.
Arbace blames his father for abandoning him. But this renounces him. His sister Semira doesn't want to listen to him again until he's proven innocent. His beloved Mandane is also convinced of his guilt because his hatred of Serse was well known. Left alone, Arbace abandons himself to despair.
Second act
Royal room
Because Artabano Arbace wants to ask about the background to the murder, Artaserse has him taken out of prison. He himself is looking for a way to save Arbace. Artabano should therefore initially speak to his son alone. After Artaserse leaves, Artabane tries to persuade Arbace to join the uprising he has already prepared. Arbace refuses, horrified. When Artabane wants to forcibly lead him away, Arbace calls the guard himself and allows himself to be taken back to prison.
Artabano explains to his co-conspirator Megabise that he has to leave his son to his fate for the time being. Megabise suggests rescuing him from prison by force, but that would take too much time. It is more urgent to get rid of Artaserse first. Megabise assures Artabano of its absolute loyalty. Artabano promises him the hand of his daughter Semira as a reward. As she is just passing by, Artabano introduces her new groom to her. However, Semira demands a love test from Megabise: He should break the engagement himself so that she does not incur the anger of her father. When he refuses, she explains that she will never love him. But he doesn't care as long as he can own it.
After Megabise leaves, Semira asks the mandane, who is just hurrying by, to help Arbace with her. However, she considers her former lover to be guilty and now, on the contrary, at the council meeting she wants to prevent Artaserse from judging too leniently out of friendship with him. Semira feels left alone by everyone.
A large hall with the throne and chairs for the greats of the empire
At the meeting, Artaserse declares that he is ready to face his responsibilities. Mandane and Semira demand to be admitted. Semira asks for mercy for Arbace, while Mandane demands vengeance. Since Artaserse does not want to incur any guilt, he leaves the judgment to Artabane. The father himself should judge his son. Artaserse secretly hopes that he will judge graciously. Arbace is brought in tied up and awaits Artabane's verdict. Although all the evidence speaks against him, he again protests his innocence. Therefore, he cannot defend himself properly or show remorse. Artabane finds his son guilty and signs the death warrant. After briefly overcome by desperation, Arbace accepts the verdict. Before he is taken away, he asks his father for the opportunity to be able to reconcile with Mandane.
Mandanes blames Artabane. When he replies that she followed her own desire for revenge, she replies that she had a father to avenge, but he had a son to save. Semira, on the other hand, is disappointed with Artaserse. Artabane was bound by the law in his judgment; but he was above the law and could have saved Arbace.
Alone again, Artabane decides to save his son.
Third act
The interior of the fortress where Arbace is being held
Artaserse goes to jail to free Arbace. Even if he should be guilty, his previous merits would outweigh, because "the crime is still doubtful, but the benefit is certain". Arbace replies that he is willing to take the punishment to protect the king's honor. Artaserse replied that one could pretend that the sentence had already been secretly carried out and ordered him to flee. After this behavior Artaserse no longer believes in Arbace's guilt.
Artabano arrives with Megabise and the other conspirators to get his son out of prison. But this is no longer to be found there. Artabane fears he's already dead. Megabise points out that time is pressing. It had already poisoned the sacred bowl and the project could not be abandoned now. Artabane, however, is desperate. He only planned the betrayal for his son's future, and without him everything would be pointless. Megabise replies that even in this case, he would have to continue to avenge him.
A cabinet in the mandans' rooms
Semira reports to Mandane that the king killed Arbace. Mandane can finally be satisfied. But from now on she will make life difficult for her in order to punish her. Mandane, however, is already desperate. When she is alone again, Semira regrets her speech. She did not alleviate her own pain, but increased Mandane's suffering.
Arbace is looking for Mandane to make up with her before he escapes. He finds her just in time to stop her from committing suicide. Since she continues to believe in his guilt, he gives her his sword so that she can kill him if she should really hate him. She refuses, as does his offer to kill himself. He should be executed publicly and shamefully. Arbace therefore sets out to return to prison. Now she's finally holding him back. Although she doesn't want to admit that she still loves him, he should stay alive.
A splendid place for the coronation of the Artaserse; on one side the throne with crown and scepter; in the middle of the altar with an image of the sun
Artaserse greets the people before his coronation ceremony. Artabano hands him the consecrated bowl that he had previously poisoned for the oath. During his oath, Artaserse pours from the bowl onto the fire and then brings it to his mouth. Semira interrupts the ceremony with the news that the uprising has just broken out. Artaserse sets the shell down. He suspects that Arbace has now betrayed him and started the uprising. Now Mandane comes and reports that the uprising has already been repulsed. However, the leader was not Arbace but Megabise. Arbace, however, persuaded the rebels to lay down their arms. Only Megabise was killed trying to attack him.
Arbace comes and throws himself on the ground in front of Artaserse. He is pleased that his innocence has now been proven and asks him for further explanations so that the people can be convinced. But because he doesn't want to betray his father, Arbace asks if he can do without it. Artaserse is willing to be satisfied with a public oath by Arbace that he is innocent. He should drink from the sacred bowl. According to an old Persian custom, this invokes a deity to be an avenger and a witness. When Arbace brings the bowl to his mouth, his father stops him at the last moment from drinking the poison. Artabano now has no choice but to admit his betrayal and clear everything up. Artaserse angrily draws his sword, and Artabano also takes his own. But before the fight starts, Arbace asks for mercy for his father. He would rather die himself. Moved, Artaserse gives Artabano his life and sends him into exile. Arbace can now marry Mandane, and Semira should ascend the throne with him.
history
Historical accounts of Artabanos' murder of Xerxes, the execution of Darius', the identification of the real murderer and Artaxerxes' revenge can be found in the 16th book of Persiká by Ktesias of Knidos , in the 11th book of the Bibliotheca historica by Diodorus and in the first chapter of Justin's excerpt from the third book of Pompeius Trogus ' Historiae Philippicae . In addition to these historical sources, Metastasio had some French models available. A parallel to Mandane's conflict between her duty to her murdered father and her love for the alleged murderer can be found in the Chimène in Pierre Corneille's tragicomedy Le Cid from 1637. The death of Darius and the execution of the conspirator can be found in the 1683 tragedy Artaxerce by Claude Boyer . Further parallels can be found in the tragedy Xercès by Prosper Jolyot Crébillon . The focus of action of these works, however, differs from the metastasios. Artaserse's inner conflict is particularly evident here. In addition, the whole work is permeated with the theme of injustice.
Artaserse was also Leonardo Vinci's last opera in 1730 (in Rome with Carestini in the role of Arbace) and Johann Adolph Hasse's first opera written on a text by Metastasio (in Venice with the singers Francesca Cuzzoni and Farinelli ). Vinci's opera was very much appreciated by Metastasio and performed again several times, for example in 1738 at a gala in the new Teatro San Carlo in Naples and in 1746 at the inauguration of the opera house in Dresden. With Carl Heinrich Graun's setting of 1743, the Stuttgart Opera House was inaugurated in 1750, and a revised version of Baldassare Galuppi's setting of 1749 opened the Teatro Nuovo in Padua in 1751. Hasse's setting was performed as a pasticcio with additional music by Farinelli's brother Riccardo Broschi in London in 1734 . In addition to Farinelli, whose London debut this was, the singers Cuzzoni and Senesino also took part in this performance . Both Christoph Willibald Gluck (1741) and Johann Christian Bach (1760) used this libretto for their first operas. In 1762 Thomas Arne had great success with his English-speaking Artaxerxes . Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's aria for soprano and orchestra Conservati fedele ( KV 23, 1765) is a setting of the farewell verses by Artaserse's sister Mandane at the end of the first scene.
