"Il Giustino" by Antonio Vivaldi; baroque opera (premiere in Ecuador). According to the critic Héctor Coda, in Il Giustino “Vivaldi's art, extremely refined, reaches its peak here by exceptionally bringing human emotions to the dramatic scene. An art that is not made to amuse, but to make you think and shake the emotions of the soul. Love, nobility, hate, perfidy, intrigue or jealousy have a place in Vivaldi's music, which expresses them ineffably..." Listening to an opera from 1724, today, and being able to enjoy it, demands that the listener is immersed as much as possible in the psychology of the listener of that time.Surely, the public of the baroque era was more willing than today, to identify with the passions and interactions that united characters, text, music and images. This was due to the fact that the spectator of the 18th century, not conditioned as we are by a thousand media influences, preserved an almost “childish” purity in listening, which not only allowed him to appreciate the music, but also to associate it emotionally with the events that unfolded. . Opera was also a popular means of learning about exotic countries and heroes, as well as historical events. "ll Giustino" is an opera with a historical setting, set in Byzantium, in which relevant political figures appear, as well as other allegorical ones. Denied love is the cause of a war, and it is in this context that the protagonist, Giustino, appears. At first he is asleep in a bucolic and rural place, dreaming of the glory and power that the goddess Fortuna has promised him. The allegorical character appears with the well-known theme of La Primavera, an example of the skillful businessman that Vivaldi was. He is soon given Giustino's first contact with royalty, when he saves the emperor's sister from a bear. Giustino later shows his worth again, in this case saving Empress Arianna from a sea monster. Finally, misunderstandings, jealousy and greed turn against Giustino, but he ends up triumphing over love and the rule of the just. The last scene puts the final point with the chorus "Doppo i nembi e le procelle il sereno appare al fin" (After storms and floods the serene finally appears), in the form of a chaconne in C major and C minor.
