Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode
- Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode
"Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode" ("While Two Dispute, the Third Enjoys") is a "dramma giocoso" in two acts by Giuseppe Sarti. The libretto was after Carlo Goldoni's "Le nozze" ("The Marriage").
One aria from this opera, "Come un agnello", is famously quoted by Mozart at the end of "Don Giovanni".
Performance history
It was first performed at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on 14 September 1782. It became very successful, being produced under different names, in different languages, and in numerous European cities. The work also accumulated music composed by Pasquale Anfossi, Antonio Salieri, and Stephen Storace in addition to the composer himself.
Roles
ynopsis
