		Venus unites the young couple and confers the rulership upon Ascanio, admonishing him to enforce her laws with moderation and to ensure the happiness of the mortals in his realm.

	Arts \| Ascanio in Alba
		It was a bold decision to start this year's Mostly Mozart festival at the Barbican not with the usual mix of pot-boilers but with one of his least-played early operas, Ascanio in Alba.
		And for all the charm of the singing, what was surprising about Ascanio in Alba was how limited and one-dimensional it was as a drama and as a score.
		In fact, apart from the vivid imagination of an accompanied recitative for Ascanio in the first act, sung with real tenderness by counter-tenor Carlos Mena, and a limpid aria in the second act for Silvia, a sweet-voiced Anna Chierichetti, Mozart's music was plain and conventional.

		But the Buxton festival has got in early with its contribution to the impending 250th anniversary with what is almost certainly the first ever staging in Britain of Ascanio in Alba, the esta teatrale that the 15-year-old Mozart composed on a visit to Milan in 1771.
		He had just had a big hit there with Mitridate, and Ascanio in Alba was commissioned as part of the celebrations for a royal wedding.
		The text, based on an episode in the Aeneid, is a flimsy allegory in which the goddess Venus tests the love and resolve of her son Ascanio for his bride-to-be Silvia, before allowing them to marry and rule over the new city of Alba.

		Ascanio in Alba, written in 1771, was Mozart's most important commission to date.
		Here, Venus is arranging for her "son" Ascanio (fathered by Aeneas) to be "wedded to the wisest nymph ever born of divine blood".
		This "Silvia" is the daughter of Hercules and, without ever meeting Ascanio, is in love with him thanks to Cupid.

		In any case, the musical quality of the performance is not quite at par with what the M22 collection has offered us so far, which is a shame because the music of Ascanio is actually much better than the very static Betulia Liberata, for example.
		Iris Kupke and Sonia Prina are quite tame in the parts of Venus and Ascanio.
		The idea to reproduce all 22 operas on dvd is very exiting for all opera lovers, but unfortunately this is a dissapointing and shameful production of Ascanio in Alba.

		It was too abstract for normal view but with the 3D glasses distributed during the intermission, the abstract pattern became 3 dimensional obstacles between Ascanio and Silvia.
		Since Kristina Hammerstöm was sick and canceled, the young counter tenor Peter Rehkopf, who had taken part in a Christ Ludwig Master class, sang Ascanio without rehearsal and won warm applause from the audience.
		During the Mozart week, there were 2 performances of “Ascanio in Alba”.

	Musical Pointers
		To open the Barbican/Classic FM's summer festival of the bank-rolling Mozart, whose popularity dominates so many schedules again this year, no worse choice than Ascanio could easily be imagined.
		Ascanio in Alba, a hugely popular festa teatrale in its day, is long past its sell-by date.
		No story, no characterisation, endless recits and undistinguished da capo arias, decent singing (but that is not in short supply, so many well trained singers are jostling for a place in the sun).

		Commissioned to create an occasional piece for the wedding, in 1771, of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria to Princess Maria Beatrice of Modena, the 15-year-old Mozart came up with Ascanio in Alba.
		The librettist Parini lumbers the teenage composer with an oratorio, whose sole idea is that Venus delays her son Ascanio’s marriage to Silvia to test the latter’s fidelity.
		William Purefoy’s Ascanio graduates touchingly from gauche teenage scholar to impassioned lover, the while deploying a strikingly pure, finely projected countertenor.
