Demetrio one is opera - libretto in three acts by Pietro Metastasio . It was performed for the first time in the setting by Antonio Caldara on November 4, 1731 to celebrate the day of Emperor Charles VI. in Vienna. This libretto was also set to music under the names Alceste , Cleonice or Demetrio, rè della Siria . With over fifty versions, it is one of Metastasio's most popular works.
A German translation of the libretto by Johann Anton Koch appeared in 1769 under the name Demetrius in the first volume of his unfinished complete edition Des Herr Abbot Peter Metastasio Kayserl. Royal Court Poet's Dramatic Poems.
action
The opera is about the seizure of power by the Seleucid king Demetrius II after his return from exile.
“When Demetrius Soter , king in Syria, was driven out of his own kingdom by the illegitimate ruler of the same, from whom Alexander Bala , he died as an exile with the Cretans, who had remained his friends with the unfortunate fortune. Before his flight, however, he handed over the little Demetrius, his son, as an underage child, to Phoenicius, the most loyal of his subjects, so that he should keep him at the convenient time of vengeance. The royal Unknown to himself, the prince lived for a while in the woods under the fictitious name of Alcestes, where the wisdom of Phoenicius had hidden him from the pursuit of said Alexander; but later he lived in Seleucia with Phoenicius himself, who knew how to hide this duty of his loyalty under the pretext of a generous inclination. The presumed Alcestes soon became the admiration of the whole empire; in other words, that he was raised to the greatest honors of war by his enemy, Alexander, and by Cleonice, whose daughter, a princess worthy of a generous father, loved most profoundly. As soon as it seemed to be the time for the very careful Phoenicius, he began to inquire into the minds of the subjects by undetecting the fact that the young Demetrius, though unknown, was still alive.
At this court, which spread in an instant, the Cretans declared themselves protectors of the rightful prince. And Alexander, in order to quench the fire that had developed, before it became even greater, tried to make war on them, but was overcome by them and killed. Alcestes found himself in this battle because of his military dignity, and for a long time there was no news of him in Seleucia; Hence the death of Alexander, whom Phoenicius wished so much, came at a time inconvenient for his intentions, both because Alcestes was not in Seleucia, and because on this occasion he recognized that the arrogance of the greats of the empire (every one of them sought the crown among them) would pass the rightful heir off as a fraud. For this reason, sighing after the same return, and urgently in secret with the aid of the Cretans, he postponed the discovery of his secret. In the meantime the competitors for the empire agreed that Cleonice, whom they recognized as queen, should choose a husband from among them. The latter postponed the election for a long time under various pretexts in order to await the return of Alcestes; which arrived just in time when the tormented queen was about to vote. This would give Demetrius, in whom Alcestes, recognized from various characteristics, his paternal crown.
The setting is in Seleucien. "
The following table of contents is based on the libretto of the setting performed by Antonio Caldara in Braunschweig in 1734.
first act
Illuminated cabinet with armchairs and a table with a crown and scepter
Cleonice has ruled as Queen of Syria since her father Alexander was killed in the battle in Crete . The people now expect that she will soon choose a husband and thus a new king. Her Reichsrat Olinto offers himself because he has loved her for a long time. Cleonice doesn't want to know anything about it. She already loves the shepherd Alceste, who has been missing since the battle. Cleonice is sure that he is still alive. Her confidante Barsene points out that she cannot marry him anyway because there are hundreds of more deserving applicants.
Mitrane, the captain of the royal bodyguard, comes to get her. The people are on the verge of an uprising and want to see them at last. Mitrane loves Barsene, but is rejected by her because she is secretly in love with Alceste.
Olinto's father Fenicio tells Mitrane that the believed dead Prince Demetrio, the son of the previous king Demetrio, who was expelled by Alexander, is still alive. It is his foster son Alceste. Fenicio has already spread the rumor that Demetrio is still alive, but as a precaution has still kept his identity a secret. To put him on the throne, he needs outside help. He hopes to get this from the Cretans. Since Cleonice is a worthy queen, his plan was to marry her to Alceste. Unfortunately Alceste cannot be found, and Cleonice has to choose another husband. The two decide to postpone Cleonice's election at all costs until Alcestes returns.
Magnificent hall with a throne on one side
Opposite the throne chairs for the imperial princes. Through the hall you can see the port of Seleukia with many illuminated ships decorated for the election of the king.
Cleonice enters with the nobles as well as Fenicio and Olinto. She still hasn't made up her mind. Fenicio supports her and advises her to give herself another three months to think about it. His son Olinto thinks this is wrong in view of the popular will - he secretly hopes that Cleonice will choose him. Before Cleonice can speak, they are interrupted by Mitranes, who announces the arrival of Alcestes. He is getting out of a small ship. Alceste and Cleonice finally see each other again. Alceste now reports on his fate: After Cleonice's father Alexander lost the battle, almost his entire army was destroyed. He himself survived badly wounded and drifted in the water until he was rescued by a Cretan fisherman who nursed him to health and gave him the ship to go home. After the narration, Olinto urges him to finally proceed with the election of the king. When Alceste also wants to sit down with them, he tries to prevent that, because he doesn't want to see a simple shepherd at his side. However, Alceste has already risen to the rank of officer, and Cleonice unceremoniously appoints him general and keeper of the Grand Seal. Before Cleonice wants to announce her choice, she demands a vow from those present that they will accept their choice - even if it should be a stranger or someone of low status. Since Olinto refuses, Cleonice declares that she wants to give up her crown. She has no real freedom and does not want to sit on the throne as a slave. She leaves without announcing her choice. Mitrane, the nobles and the people also leave the hall.
Only Fenicio, Olinto and Alceste remained. Fenicio reproaches his son. Olinto is disappointed that he doesn't support him, but Fenicio doesn't think he would be a good king. He should take Alceste as a role model and be more patient. Despite his poor origins, Olinto recognizes a dangerous rival in Alceste.
The inner garden of the royal castle
Fenicio reports to Cleonice and Barsene that the council has rejected Cleonice's resignation. Everyone agrees to let her freely choose her husband. However, contrary to expectations, Cleonice is not relieved. She would never dare to put a shepherd on the throne and is afraid of losing Alceste for good. He now comes himself and assures her of his love. Because Cleonice cannot overhear this, she leaves the garden. When Alceste Barsene asks the reason for Cleonice's changed behavior, she advises him to find another mistress. But that is out of the question for him.
Second act
A gallery of golden equestrian statues that leads to the Queen's apartments
Olinto denies Alceste access to Cleonice. Alceste doesn't believe that the order is from Cleonice himself and doesn't want to be stopped. Mitrane confirms the order, however. You even forbidden to mention his name. Alceste is not aware of any guilt and cannot understand that. He leaves disappointed. Olinto is now hoping for the throne again. Mitrane advises against it. The art of governing is not easy. In addition, Olinto has so far loved bars and would have to give them up. Olinto thinks this is a small sacrifice because he doesn't believe in lasting love.
After Olinto leaves, Cleonice and Barsene arrive. Cleonice writes a farewell letter to Alceste. Fenicio comes and asks Cleonice to pity Alceste. He was almost mad with agony and just wanted to see her one more time and then die. She tears up the letter and wants to have Alceste come. Olinto comes back. In the meantime he has ordered Alceste to leave the city in Cleonice's name, and he has already left. Cleonice orders the guard to search for Alceste and bring him back.
Olinto asks Barsene if she still loves him. She mockingly replies that he has already given up on her. She also saved her love for someone else. Olinto is determined not to be dissuaded from his goal.
A room of the queen
Alceste has come back and asks Cleonice the reason for her rejection. She explains to him that they must part for the good of the people. They sadly say goodbye to each other. After Alceste has left Barsene and Fenicio come. Barsene praises Cleonice for her behavior, but Fenicio blames her. Cleonice leaves the room in despair. Fenicio accuses Barsene of pursuing her own plans and suspects that she loves Alceste herself. Barsene are there too. Fenicio realizes that everything is against his plan. But he does not give up hope.
Third act
Forecourt in the castle; in the distance the sea on which a ship is waiting for the departure from Alcestes
Olinto is happy about the upcoming departure from Alcestes. Fenicio asks him in vain to postpone it a little longer. Cleonice confesses to Alceste that she couldn't live without him. She would rather give up the crown and live in a poor hut than lose him. But Alceste would never allow that. Cleonice then asks him to follow her to the castle, where she wants to announce her new bridegroom. After she leaves, Olinto wants to say goodbye to Alceste. The departure is postponed, however, and Alceste is expected by the Queen. Olinto now believes Cleonice chose Alceste. He decides to take revenge.
Fenicio's room in the castle
Fenicio worries about the success of his plan. Mitrane reassures him that the ships of the friendly Cretans are already in sight. So soon you can safely reveal Alceste's true identity. Fenicio instructs Mitrane to secretly assemble her troops. Then Olinto brings the news that Cleonice has chosen her husband. But it is not Alceste.
Alceste and two servants bring Fenicio on a golden basin cloak, crown and scepter. Cleonice has chosen Fenicio and is waiting for him in the temple for the ceremony. Despite the age difference, Alceste thinks this is a wise choice. Fenicio sends Olinto to the temple to announce his arrival. After he leaves, Fenicio Alceste reveals that he is Demetrio, the true heir to Syria. Barsene hopes that Alceste will now turn to her and confesses her love to him. Alceste's thoughts are elsewhere, however. Barsene gives up her hopes in him.
A magnificent sun-consecrated temple with an altar in the center and a throne on the side
Cleonice and Fenicio enter the temple with their entourage and the two servants wearing cloaks, crowns and scepter. Fenicio assures Cleonice that Alceste is Syria's true crown heir. Alceste and Mitrane are added. Cleonice now asks Alceste to ascend the throne of his ancestors. He wants to do this - but only with her by his side. They go to the altar and shake hands. Barsene comes along and reports of unrest in the city. An envoy from Crete had arrived with a hundred ships. Olinto also spread rumors that Fenicio was planning a fraud. Fenicio calms her down, however.
Olinto arrives with the envoy from Crete and brings a sealed letter from the elder Demetrio. He wrote it shortly before his death in Crete and it had just been delivered. Olinto reads the letter. He clearly names Alceste as the son of Demetrios. Fenicio raised him under a false name. All but Olinto are relieved. But even he finally recognizes Alceste as king and regrets his previous ambitions. Alceste and Cleonice sit on the throne. At the end of the opera, the choir praises the couple's virtue, honor and love.
history
The historical model of Alceste / Demetrio is Demetrius II. Nikator . The story of the latter is preserved in the eleventh book of Appian's Rhomaika , in the 32nd book of the Bibliotheca by Diodorus and in Justin's excerpt from the 35th and 36th books of Pompeius Trogus ' Historiae Philippicae . The young Demetrius was sent into exile in Crete by his father Demetrius Soter in order to escape the stalking of the usurper Alexander I. Balas . Later he was able to overcome this with the help of Greek mercenaries and recapture his throne.
The plot of Metastasio's drama has a forerunner in Pierre Corneille's comédie héroïque Dom Sanche d'Aragon of 1649. The Demetrio was his first work written for the Viennese court, and the 1731 performance with Antonio Caldara's music was a great success. In 1732 the castrato Antonio Bernacchi took on the role of Alceste in two settings, that of Johann Adolph Hasse in Venice (with Faustina Bordoni as Cleonice) and that of Gaetano Maria Schiassi in Milan (here Antonia Negri sang Cleonice). The role of Alceste was later sung by other star castrati such as Carestini , Farinelli , Senesino and Venanzio Rauzzini .
A German-language version as a play in three acts appeared in Vienna in 1761 under the name Demetrius .
