为悲剧，作于1818年，剧中加入大量的合唱曲，同年在圣卡罗剧院上演，剧中表现摩西率领群众渡红海的背景引起群众哄堂大笑，关于此事斯丹达尔描述当时的记载:由于大剧院大厅的结构缘故，佈置出只有正厅可以看到的海景，但佈景却造成海洋比海岸高五公尺的窘境，在包厢观众看来，几乎就在海浪之上。
此剧在威尼斯上演时让习于欣赏优美事物的观众讪笑不已，1827年罗西尼将此剧扩充修订，更名为<摩西和法老王>(Mose et Pharaon)，后移至巴黎演出为歌剧开启新风格，此剧也成为威尔第写<那布果>(Nabucco)的典範。
Mosè in Egitto (pronounced [moˈzɛ in eˈdʒitto]; English: Moses in Egypt) is a three-act opera written by Gioachino Rossini to a libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola, which was based on a play by Francesco Ringhieri, LOsiride, of 1760.
It premiered 5 March 1818 at the recently reconstructed Teatro San Carlo, Naples.
Rossini enlarged the work in 1827, this time to a French libretto. Moïse et Pharaon, ou Le passage de la Mer Rouge (pronounced: [mɔiːz e faʁaɔ̃ u lə pasaːʒ də la mɛːʁ ʁuːʒ]; English: Moses and Pharaoh, or The Crossing of the Red Sea) is in four acts, with a ballet. It received its premiere in Paris on 26 March.
Composition history
The opera was loosely based on the Exodus from Egypt of the Israelites, led by Moses, rendered agreeable to the opera stage by introducing a love theme, in which the Pharaohs son Amenophis (tenor) plans to prevent their departure, since he loves the Israelite Anaïs (soprano). The opera opens with a darkened stage, as the plague of darkness is dispelled by Moses prayer, and it ends with the spectacle of the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of Pharaohs host, which "elicited howls of derision"[2] at the clumsy machinery of its staging at the premiere, though the opera surmounted its technical failings and was a hit.
Billed as an azione tragico-sacra, the sacred drama with some features of the oratorio circumvented proscriptions of secular dramatic performances during Lent.
Rossini revised the opera for Naples in 1819, when he introduced Moses prayer-aria "Dal tuo stellato soglio", which became one of the most popular opera pieces of the day, inspired a set of variations for violin and piano by Niccolò Paganini, and survives in concert performance.
Performance history
Parisian audiences had already seen the work, both in a performance by the Paris Opéra at the Théâtre de lAcadémie Royale de Musique and at the Théâtre des Italiens before Rossini revised it for the Paris Opéra, now in four acts with a ballet, where it premiered 26 March 1827, with the title Moïse et Pharaon, ou Le Passage de la Mer Rouge, with translations and additions to the libretto by Luigi Balocchi [3] and Victor Joseph Etienne de Jouy, who would co-write the libretto for Rossinis final opera Guillaume Tell.
