| - Francesco Morlacchi (June 14 1784 in Perugia- October 28 1841 in Innsbruck) was an Italian composer of more than twenty operas. During the many years he spent as the royal Royal Kapellmeister in Dresden, he was instrumental in popularizing the Italian style of opera. Morlacchi composed from a very young age, first studying with his uncle Giovanni Mazzetti and later with Luigi Caruso. He later studied at Loreto with Zingarelli. Finally, he ended up in Bologna at the school of Stanislao Mattei where he met Gioacchino Rossini. Morlacchi's first operatic works were written in 1807, and were a farce and a comic opera. His first truly effective theatre work was the opera seria Corradino, and lead to commissions from opera houses in Rome and Milan. In 1810 he was brought to Dresden by prominent contralto Marietta Marcolini, and in 1811 Morlacchi was made Kapellmeister of the Italian Opera in Dresden. While in Dresden, he had to work to establish himself in the eyes of critics. By this time, German opera was well established, and Morlacchi and his compositions were seen to represent the old order both of composers and the aristocracy. Morlacchi set Il barbiere di Siviglia in the very same year Rossini presented his The Barber of Seville. Morlacchi's was to the older Giuseppe Petrosellini libretto, whereas Rossini's was to the newer libretto by Cesare Sterbini. One of Morlacchi's most successful works was Tebaldo e Isolina . Giovanni Battista Velluti premiered the work, and made the role his own. The opera was performed in 40 cities over the next ten years, largely thanks to Velluti's skillful performance. (en)
- Francesco Morlacchi, född 1784 i Perugia, död 1841 i Innsbruck, italiensk tonsättare. Han vann från 1807 i Italien rykte som operakompositör och var 1810-41 kapellmästare vid italienska operan i Dresden, där han oförtrutet representerade sitt fäderneslands operamusik, medan K. M. v. Weber som kapellmästare i samma stad kämpade för den tysk-nationella operans utveckling. Emellertid tog Morlacchi i sin stil något intryck av den tyska musiken. Han komponerade ett tjugotal mestadels komiska operor samt 11 mässor, 3 oratorier med mera. En biografi över honom skrevs 1860 av Rossi-Scotti. (sv)
- Morlacchi iniziò la sua attività di compositore sin dalla tenera et�, dapprima nello studio dello zio Giovanni Mazzetti e successivamente presso Luigi Caruso. Più tardi studiò a Loreto con Nicola Antonio Zingarelli. Infine si trasferì a Bologna alla scuola di Stanislao Mattei dove conobbe Gioacchino Rossini. Le prime opere di Morlacchi, una farsa ed un'opera buffa, furono scritte nel 1807, ma la sua prima composizione rappresentata in teatro fu l'opera seria Corradino, andata in scena poi anche a Roma e Milano. Nel 1810 fu portato a Dresda dal contralto Marietta Marcolini e nel 1811 Morlacchi divenne Kapellmeister dell'Opera italiana a Dresda. In Germania si dette da fare per confermarsi agli occhi della critica, che vedeva nelle sue composizioni lo spirito dell'antico ordine sia dei compositori che dell'aristocrazia. Nel 1815 Morlacchi adattò Il barbiere di Siviglia dal libretto di Giuseppe Petrosellini, un anno prima che Rossini presentasse la sua celebre versione dal nuovo libretto di Cesare Sterbini. Una delle opere di maggior successo prodotte da Morlacchi fu Tebaldo e Isolina, rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia nel 1822. L'interpretazione del ruolo principale da parte di Giovanni Battista Velluti contribuì alla diffusione dell'opera, che venne rappresentata nel decennio successivo in più di 40 città. Morlacchi morì nel 1841: di lì a poco gli successe nel posto di Kapellmeister del Teatro di corte sassone il giovane Richard Wagner. (it)
- Francesco Giuseppe Baldassarre Morlacchi (* 14. Juni 1784 in Perugia; † 28. Oktober 1841 in Innsbruck) war ein italienischer Komponist und Dirigent. Der Schüler von Giovanni Mazetto in Perugia, Luigi Caruso, Nicolo Antonino Zingarelli in Loreto und Stanislao Mattei in Bologna kam 1810 auf Vermittlung der Sängerin Marietta Marcolini nach Dresden und war als Nachfolger von Ferdinando Paer ab 1811 bis zu seinem Tode Hofkapellmeister der Italienischen Oper in Dresden. Damit war er zuständig für die drei Bereiche katholische Kirchenmusik, Oper und höfische Kammer- und Orchestermusik. Er starb in Innsbruck während einer Reise nach Pisa. Sein Tod bedeutete das Ende der Abteilung „Italienische Oper“ in Dresden. Das Theater seiner Heimatstadt Perugia wurde nach ihm „Teatro Morlacchi“ benannt. Morlacchi trug in Dresden stark zur Entfaltung der „romantischen“ Musik bei und wurde auf Grund seines musikalischen Ausdrucks auch als „italienischer Romantiker“ am Pult der Dresdner Hofkapelle bezeichnet. Er war Initiator der Dresdner Palmsonntagskonzerte und nahm sich der Wiederaufführung von Bachs Matthäus-Passion in Dresden an. Er komponierte etwa 20 Opern, u.a. Una farsa, Corradino, Saffo, Il barbiere di Siviglia, La semplicetta di Pirna, Teobaldo e Isolina, Oreste und La gioventà di Enrico IV., il renegato. Außerdem eine Cantate zum Geburtstag des Zaren Alexander, ein Requiem für Friedrich August I (1750–1827) König von Sachsen, 13 große Messen mit Orchester, eine Passion, ein Miserere alla Capella, 5 Oratorien und weitere Werke der katholischen Kirchenmusik.
