The first setting by Carlo Francesco Pollarolo was premiered on December 26, 1699 at the Teatro San Giovanni Crisostomo in Venice.

action

A year after his victory in the war against the Parthians , the Roman Emperor Lucio Vero ( Lucius Verus ) is still in the occupied country. He has fallen in love with Berenice, the Queen of Armenia, and wants to marry her, although he is already engaged to Lucilla , the daughter of his co-emperor Marc Aurel . Berenice, however, remains loyal to her lover, the defeated King Vologeso ( Vologaeses IV ). Vologeso is arrested after a failed assassination attempt against the emperor. Lucilla travels from Rome and brings her fiancé to her senses by starting a revolt with the help of her confidante Claudio (called Flavio in some editions).

The prehistory of the opera plot is described in the foreword of the libretto as follows:

“Kayser Marco Aurelio chose a noble Roman as his companion and successor in the kingdom of Lucio Antonio Vero, and gave him his daughter as his bride Lucilla. But just at the time of the marriage, I went against the Romans in the field, Vologeso the Parthian King, together with Berenice Queen of Armenia: the new Kayser had to lead the Roman army against the Parthians, and the marriage with Lucilla nevertheless bit down Move the end of the field move. A meeting soon came about in which Lucio Vero got the upper hand, and Queen Berenice too, captured; And while he believed that Vologeso the king would have come in the battle, he carried it with himself to Efeso: wherever he was caught by her beauty, fifty and alone sought as he could have her as his wife. When this became known in Rome. If Marco Aurelio was at most affronted: Flavio immediately sent Lucilla to Efeso, and Lucio Vero announced that he should either marry his daughter or let the Reichs go forever. The matter happily proposed, although Lucio Vero did not despise Lucilla, in that it raised the Roman army against the new Kayser, and nevertheless compelled them, and nevertheless compelled them to leave Berenice and to carry out the promise made with them . In the meantime, however, Vologeso recovered from the wounds he received in the battle, and after hearing that Berenice had been imprisoned for his bride, he went to Efeso, unbeknownst to him, by means of cunning and money received to be accepted among the imperial servants. Several things are to be avoided outside of the opera. "

- “Contents” from the libretto of the setting by Pietro Torri, Munich 1720, p. 82 f

The following table of contents is based on the libretto of the opera Vologeso by Niccolò Jommelli, staged in the palace theater in 1766 .

first act

Imperial hall with lavishly laid tables

Scene 1. Lucio Vero asks Berenice to put an end to the mourning for her deceased fiancé and to sit down with him. Berenice is reluctant to obey.

Scene 2. Vologeso in disguise and Lucio Vero's confidante Aniceto enter the room with a retinue of imperial servants. The choir celebrates the happy hours of the feast. Berenice recognizes her fiancé, who was believed dead, but doesn’t show anything. Lucio Vero offers Berenice the first drink. When she reaches for it, Vologeso snatches the bowl and hurls it to the ground. He had poisoned the potion to kill Lucio Vero and reveals himself to be a Parthian who wanted to avenge his king Vologeso. Lucio Vero has him arrested. However, Vologeso is not afraid of the emperor, but only worries about Berenice (Arie Vologeso: "Invan minacci e credi").

Scene 3. Lucio Vero entrusts Aniceto with the supervision of the prisoner. Aniceto leaves with the imperial servants.

Scene 4. After the incident, Lucio tries to calm Vero Berenice down. But she would rather be alone.

Scene 5. Aniceto returns with the news that Lucio Vero's fiancée Lucilla - the daughter of Emperor Aurelio - has arrived with Roman ambassadors. Lucio Vero is extremely inconvenient. To distract Lucilla, he orders games in the arena. Aniceto is sent ahead - which he happily does, since he adores Lucilla. Berenice will also attend the celebrations. Lucio Vero hopes to find peace in his heart again (Lucio Vero's aria: “Luci belle, più serene”).

Scene 6. After her lover's return, Berenice has regained hope (Berenice's aria: “Se vive il mio bene”).

A park of the Royal Gardens with a view of the Imperial Palace

Scene 7. Lucilla and Flavio have arrived in Efeso with their entourage and are waiting for Lucio Vero. He comes out of the palace with his guards and asks them the reason for their trip. Lucilla replies that more than a year has passed since the victory over the Parthians and that he is expected in Rome. Flavio adds that Aurelio sent them to give him an ultimatum. Either Lucio Vero and Lucilla get married the next day, or he has to abdicate. Lucio Vero answers evasively. He orders his guards to accompany the comers to the arena and withdraws.

Scene 8. Lucilla asks Flavio what his impression of Lucio Vero is. Flavio finds his evasive behavior suspicious. Berenice, on the other hand, still hopes that the emperor is loyal to her (aria: “Tutti di speme al core”). She goes.

Scene 9. Flavio fears that Berenice is wrong. Since she herself has a loyal heart, she cannot imagine infidelity in others either (Flavio's aria: “Crede sol ch'a nuovi ardori”).

A lavishly decorated and curtained amphitheater for animal fights

Scene 10. Lucio Vero, Berenice, Lucilla, and Flavio appear with their entourage. While Lucio Vero proudly points out the expected fights between convicted criminals and predators, Berenice wonders that the Romans get used to bloodbaths even while having fun. Aniceto joins them and the trumpets sound as a sign of the beginning. All go through the portal that closes behind them and go upstairs to take their places. Then a smaller door opens through which Vologeso is led into the amphitheater.

Scene 11. Vologeso is horrified to have been thrown to the predators alone and unarmed. His fiancée Berenice also seems to be completely unmoved among the audience. When she hears his words, she throws herself into the theater to share his torments. Lucio Vero orders too late to close the entrance - a lion has found its way to the two. Lucio Vero throws his sword to Vologeso so that he can defend himself. Vologeso manages to wound the lion before it is killed by Lucio Vero's guards.

Scene 12. Lucilla noticed from Lucio Vero's behavior how much Berenice means to him. She feels betrayed and tells Flavio, who then leaves. Vologeso gratefully returns the sword to the emperor. However, he has him arrested again. When Berenice begs him to complete his good work, he is moved, but hesitates to answer. In the final quartet of the first movement ("Quel silenzio - quel sospiro") everyone gives expression to their feelings: Berenice and Vologeso suffer from the severity and cruelty of the emperor, Lucilla from his infidelity and Lucio Vero from his conflicting feelings of anger and pity. Berenice and Vologeso say goodbye to each other in tears. Vologeso remains trapped.

Second act

cabinet

Scene 1. Aniceto reports to Lucio Vero that his order has been carried out and that Vologeso will be taken to him immediately. Lucio Vero has him confirm the correctness of his action. Rome, Lucilla, Aurelio, “law” and “fame” will have to come to terms with the facts. He asks Aniceto to go to Lucilla and tell her that he has fallen in love with someone else. Aniceto assures Lucio Vero that he understands him and will defend him from people (Aria des Aniceto “So ben comprenderti”).

Scene 2. Vologeso is brought in tied up. Lucio Vero has the chains removed and proposes a compromise. He would get his freedom and his empire back if he renounced Berenice. Vologeso firmly rejects this. Lucio Vero feels provoked. He has Vologeso tied up again and thrown into the dungeon (aria by Lucio Vero: "Sei tra 'ceppi e insulti ancor?"). Lucio Vero leaves angrily.

Scene 3. Berenice enters and finds Vologeso still tied up. Vologeso tells her about Lucio Vero's judgment: "either without Berenice or without life". He asks her to stand firm. He would rather die than watch her humiliate herself in front of the tyrant (aria of the Vologeso: “Cara, deh serbami costante il core”). He is led away by the guards.

Scene 4. Aniceto brings Berenice an ultimatum from the emperor: she has to choose between his hand and Vologeso's head. Berenice lets the emperor know that she despises him so much that she would rather die at Vologeso's side than rule with him. When the emperor, who was listening from the side, orders that Vologeso's head be brought, her posture collapses. She feels guilty about Vologeso's death and makes several attempts to change the mind of the emperor. These culminate in a desperate aria (Berenice's aria: “Tu chiedi il mio core, il cor ti darò” - “You demand my heart, I will give you my heart”). She goes.

Scene 5. Lucio Vero instructs Aniceto to follow Berenice and urge her to explain herself more clearly. Then he should tell Lucilla that she and Flavio have to leave the country.

Scene 6. Lucio Vero sees his wishes come true. Nevertheless, he finds no peace, since Berenice will only marry him under forced conditions. He begins to doubt his plans (aria by Lucio Vero: "Che farò?").

An old cemetery adjoining the dungeon

Scene 7. Lucilla tells Flavio about her exile. Since Rome cannot allow Berenice's blood to mix into his own, he plans an army revolt. Before that, Lucilla should speak to the emperor again to change his mind (Flavio's aria: “Rammentagli chi sei”).

Scene 8. Lucio Vero arrives with his entourage and Berenice, who asks him to speak to Vologeso again. Lucio Vero allows her and then tells Lucilla of his decision: Even his feelings of guilt do not change the fact that he has chosen Berenice - and maybe Lucilla also has another lover. Lucilla is deeply offended by this remark. She had always remained loyal to him (Lucilla's aria: “Partirò, se vuoi così”). She goes.

Scene 9. Lucio Vero is relieved that Lucilla has gone. He has Vologeso brought in so that Berenice can speak to him. Berenice asks him to attend the conversation.

Scene 10. Vologeso comes to them from his prison. Lucio Vero tells him that he owes his regained freedom to Berenice. When Vologeso tries to reprimand her in horror, Berenice asks him to be patient. She now turns to Lucio Vero. Since she had promised him her heart, may he now tear it out of her chest - but he should keep his promise and give her lover back life, throne and freedom. Lucio Vero angrily puts both of them in chains. Berenice and Vologeso remain undaunted, while Lucio Vero rages and is finally plagued by remorse again (trio: "Se fida m'adora" - "Si viva in catene" - "Così m'insultate?").

Third act

gallery

Scene 1. Flavio tells Lucilla about the progress of the uprising. The people are on their side. The only thing missing was Lucilla's approval. This gives him a free hand - but the life of the emperor should be spared. Flavio leaves.

Scene 2. Lucio Vero comes to Lucilla. She agrees to her exile and wishes him good luck with Berenice. Lucio Vero asks her for pity because he is no longer in control of his feelings (aria by Lucio Vero: "Uscir vorrei d'affanno"). He goes.

Scene 3. Lucilla sees no point in using force if her lover does not love her again. She wants to break away from Lucio Vero, but cannot suppress her feelings (Lucilla's aria: “Amor non sa che sia”).

jail

Scene 4. While Vologeso is preparing to die, Flavio comes in with some soldiers. They untie him and Flavio gives him a sword. He introduces himself as a Roman and enemy of the inhuman emperor. Vologeso will soon get his empire and Berenice back (Aria des Vologeso: “Ah, sento che in petto”).

A room prepared for mourning; a chair and a table with lamps on it

Scene 5. Aniceto reports Berenice's arrival to Lucio Vero. Aniceto is sent away to carry out further orders. Lucio Vero hides to watch Berenice.

Scene 6. Berenice enters the room and complains about the fate of Vologeso, whom she already believes to be dead. In a shadow she thinks she can see his spirit (aria of Berenice: "Ombra che pallida"). Lucio Vero is shocked by her pain. He steps forward to calm her down.

Scene 7. Aniceto arrives with a page wearing a basin covered with a black cloth. He gives it to Berenice as a present from the emperor and adds: "If you are looking for your fiancé, he is already with you." Berenice is shocked. She believes it is Vologeso's head (Berenice's aria: “Su quel caro volto esangue”).

Scene 8. As the basin is uncovered, a lively symphonia sounds. The somber decor disappears and the scene is transformed into a magnificent palace. On the basin are the royal crown and the scepter. Lucio Vero approaches with Aniceto and his entire court. He hopes Berenice will give in now. But this place no value on the objects. Their happiness lies alone in Vologeso. Lucio Vero is angry and threatens to carry out the death sentence. At this moment the sound of guns can be heard and the insurgent troops are approaching.

Scene 9. Vologeso and Flavio arrive with armed Romans. Flavio asks Lucio Vero to take off the laurel wreath and to resign. Lucio Vero, Vologeso and Flavio take up their swords.

Scene 10. Before the fight starts, Lucilla intervenes. Nothing should happen to the emperor. He should now make the decision about his wedding. You will forgive him. Impressed by her magnanimity, Lucio Vero puts down his sword and promises to return to her. Flavio recognizes him again as emperor, and Lucio Vero gives Berenice and Vologeso freedom and his empire. Only Aniceto has to give up his secret love for Lucilla. The couples leave and the opera ends with a happy final chorus.

History of origin

After the libretto had been set to music more than fifteen times under the original name of Lucio Vero , it was revised in 1739 by Guido Eustachio Luccarelli for Rinaldo di Capua's opera Vologeso . A large number of other settings appeared under this title. In the course of time the text has been revised and adapted to the conventions of the respective time. The number of arias has been reduced, the originally irregularly shaped arias have been replaced by others and the recitatives have been shortened. The plot has also been simplified. Luccarelli already shortened the third act and the final scenes of the first act significantly. In 1766 Mattia Verazi revised Luccarelli's text for an opera by Niccolò Jommelli , also called Vologeso , who had set the original libretto to music as early as 1754.
