Strictly speaking, rather than an opera Pimpinone is a comic intermezzo which remains Telemann’s best-known stage work. It was the fashion in baroque times to have a brief intermezzo between acts of a longer and more serious work. Telemann had written an adaptation of Handel’s opera seria Tamerlano. He provided Pimpinone as comic relief between acts and it was first performed at Hamburg’s Theater am Gänsemarkt (on the Goose Market), on 27 September, 1725. This intermezzo is to a libretto by Johann Philipp Praetorius and fields a cast of two characters: is Pimpinone (bass) and Vespina (soprano). Vespina, as waspish as her name implies, is a scheming, pretty, young chambermaid whose main ambition is to cajole her employer, the much older Pimpinone, to marry her. Certainly not a match made in heaven but one dictated by Vespina’s greed in wanting to dominate a rich old man and his financial resources. This she does, because once married she shows the cloven hoof and completely dominates her hapless husband. This situation rings a bell with those familiar with a similar comic intermezzo by Pergolesi, the famous La serva padrona (1732) to which Pimpinone points the way. ---teatrumanoel.com.mt
