Are you familiar with the tradition of intermezzi—short, light-hearted operas or short pieces performed between acts of a serious opera? Pergolesi's 'La serva padrona' is a masterpiece that, although originally composed as an intermezzo, came to be performed as a standalone work due to its popularity. Ayako Ohtake, a Sydney-based Japanese soprano singer, has selected ’Stizzoso mio stizzoso' this month. Ayako hosts monthly music segment called VIVA! Opera for SBS Japanese.
You can listen to both the segment and the music via our catch-up link (available for four weeks after broadcast).
