"Vivat Coffee!" Premiere of chamber operas

Two unsophisticated but adventurous household music stories that have reached us from the 18th century. Two composers from different countries who mastered their craft perfectly, Johann Sebastian Bach of Germany (1685-1750) and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi of Italy (1710-1736). At the Zimmermann coffee house in Leipzig, visitors were entertained once a week by the university ensemble Collegium Musicum, then led by composer JS Bach. The people (men) of Leipzig loved the concerts of this ensemble, where they could enjoy a coffee that was still considered an exotic drink. However, attempts have been made to ban women from enjoying this drink in Germany, fearing that the habit of drinking coffee could damage their sensitive nerves and even fertility. Needless to say, these fears prevented Zimmermann’s coffee house from expanding its business. Therefore, in 1734. they commissioned the head of the Collegium Musicum to write a piece on coffee. Soon, the prolific JS Bach introduced the Coffee Cantata to his three soloists and an instrumental ensemble, which became the first coffee-worshiping piece in the history of world music. The libretto "Coffee Cantata" was written by the popular German writer Picander-Christian Friedrich Henrici at that time. The main character Liza sings: “Ah! What a delicious coffee taste! Softer than a thousand kisses, sweeter than nutmeg! coffee that women now boldly enjoy. However, for the composers themselves, fate often makes angry jokes, rejecting those works that they themselves consider to be the pinnacle of their work, but exalting what these light-hearted strokes entertain. This is what happened to GB Pergolesi, an Italian composer at the Naples Opera School. In his era, it was customary to entertain the resting audience with short comic works - intermediates of an independent plot - during the breaks of opera performances. In order for the whimsical audience to hear his opera The Unbreakable Prisoner, he was first introduced in 1733. In Naples, at the end, GB Pergolesi wrote a witty medium for her entertainment, "Maid - Lady." What the composer, who died of tuberculosis three years later, had hoped for the least: "The unbreakable prisoner" was quickly forgotten by everyone, but the "Maid - Mrs." has become a classic opera-buffa example, making its author famous to this day. In the comic opera "Maid-a-Lady", which suddenly entered the gold fund of music, the rich single Ubert suffers from a naughty maid, Serpina, who does not provide her with a chocolate drink for breakfast and is even threatened with fasting until noon. Ubert barks her for disobedience, but Serpina pays off with hypocritical tears and complains of a lack of respect. Ubert then orders the servant Vesponi to find him a wife as soon as possible. The maid realizes that her pony life is coming to an end and changes her tactics - she lovingly serves her chocolate with an unequivocal hint that Ubert should marry her. But Ubert, although secretly loving Serpin, still doubts ... Then the maid decides to strengthen the gentleman's jealousy with jealousy. She introduces Ubert to a supposed groom, a "strict officer" who pretends to be the same Vespo. This arrogant plan not only makes fun of the audience, but also allows Serpina to become her master's bride ...
