Se vuol ballare
The cavatina "" is an aria for baritone or bass from the first act of the opera "The Marriage of Figaro" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (1784). The Italian title means "If you want to dance".
Daniel Schiebeler
Schiebeler wrote several librettos for operas and oratorios, such as "Basilio und Quiteria" based on an episode form Cervantes' "Don Quixote". He was a student, age 18, when he selected the scene of the hero and his squire taking part in the wedding of Camacho. Based on his extensive studies of Spanish literature, he was able to work from the original Spanish text. His libretto is subtitled "Singgedicht für das Theater" ("dramatic libretto for the theater") and has detailed directions for a performance. Schiebeler offered the libretto to Georg Philipp Telemann, who set it as an opera, "Don Quichotte auf der Hochzeit des Comacho", not without making several practical changes to the libretto. The opera premiered on 5 November 1761 in the concert hall "Auf dem Kamp" in Hamburg, because Hamburg had no working opera house at the time. Schiebeler wrote the libretto for Johann Adam Hiller's "Lisuart und Dariolette oder Die Frage und die Antwort", which premiered in a two-act version on 25 November 1766 at the Theater am Rannstädter Thore in Leipzig. Schiebeler wrote the libretto for the dramatic oratorio "Die Israeliten in der Wüste", set to music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, which premiered on 1 November 1769 in Hamburg.
