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".
Francesco Palmieri (poet)
During the 1690s, he moved to Hanover. He wrote the libretto, and perhaps also the music, of a large-scale cantata ("Accademia per musica") which was performed on 1 November 1695, to celebrate the marriage of Princess Charlotte Felicitas of Brunswick-Lüneburg to Duke Rinaldo I of Modena. The score is lost, but it appears from the libretto to have comprised seventeen numbers for five characters (Clio, Gloria, Giunone, Amore and Fato). Palmieri (also known as "Count Palmieri"), wrote the libretto of "Briseide", the opera by Pietro Torri and Agostino Steffani, performed during carnival, 1696. From that yer, when Steffani was continually away on diplomatic duties, Palmieri was general manager of music at the court of Hanover.
