Six Intermediums From La Pellegrina
Six Intermediums from La Pellegrin © Michele Monasta
Sumptuous musical interludes inserted between the acts of a theatrical show – be it a comedy, a pastoral tale, tragedy or allegorical representation: Renaissance intermediums were considered as the forerunners of musical opera. In 1589 in Florence, in the run-up to the celebrations for the wedding of the Grand Duke Ferdinand I and Christina of Lorraine, the Count Giovanni Bardi was assigned the creation of the intermediums for the play by Girolamo Bargagli, La Pellegrina. The official event saw the collaboration for this important and ambitious project of an incredible team of the most important poets and musicians.
