Early life
[edit]Luigi Carlini was born in Naples, Campania, Italy in the late 18th century.
Entertainment life
[edit]Luigi Carlini's Maria Stuarda, regina di Scozia, a cultural depiction of Mary, Queen of Scots, was his debut opera. The production was adapted from a 1802 drama by Camillo Federici, titled Il Trionfo Dei Carbonari.[1]
In September 1817, Carlini presented a two-act drama featuring Luigi Lablache, Giovanni David, and Luigi Sirletti.[2] The composer premiered the opera La gioventù di Enrico V in 1819 at the Teatro Nuovo sopra Toledo in Naples, featuring a libretto by Felice Romani.[3] He returned with a production of Solimano II, ossia Le tre sultane at Teatro San Carlo in 1820, collaborating with Andrea Leone Tottola and Charles-Simon Favart.[4] He premiered Adelaide di Baviera at Teatro San Carlo in 1821 with libretto provided by Andrea Leone Tottola.[5] In collaboration with Robert Gallenberg, he contributed to the musical composition of Niobe by Gaetano Gioja, later staged at Naples' Teatro di San Carlo in January 1822. That year, Carlini composed music for La Festa Di Tersicore, a work choreographed by Salvatore Taglioni.[6]
He produced the 1823 Il contraccambio, ovvero L'amore alla prova which premiered at Teatro del Fondo.[7] His version of the opera Francesca da Rimini was created in 1825 with Felice Romani.[8] The piece served as the first musical version of Francesca da Rimini offered to the Italian public.[9] In 1828, he premiered Gli sposi fuggitivi, a collaboration with Italian composer Giuseppe Ceccherini.[10] On 28 May 1828, Luigi Carlini composed the music of La Sylphide for Louis Henry which was premiered at La Scala in Milan.[11]
Carlini provided the score for Chao-Kang, the 1834 ballet-pantomime staged by French choreographer Louis Henry at the Théâtre Nautique.[12] A specific section, the "Gallop of the lanterns," was arranged for German pianist Friedrich Kalkbrenner.[13]
He also collaborated with French composer Casimir Gide to compose the music for L'île des pirates of Louis Henry which premiered on 12 August 1835 at the Opéra de Paris.[14]
