Lo scoiattolo in gamba

(The witty squirrel)
Fable in one act and four tableaus by Eduardo de Filippo
Bereits im Alter von acht Jahren komponierte Nino Rota sein erstes Oratorium L’infanzia di San Giovanni Battista (1919), das er vier Jahre später selbst dirigierte. Frühzeitig beschäftigte er sich auch mit der Gattung des Musiktheaters: Im Jahr 1926 vollendete er sein erstes Bühnenstück Il Principe porcaro (Der Schweinehirt). Das nächste Bühnenwerk sollte allerdings über 25 Jahre auf sich warten lassen: Erst 1959 schrieb Rota Lo scoiattolo in gamba, das auf einer Fabel von Eduardo de Filippo beruht. Wie Il Principe porcaro ist auch dieses Werk ein Musiktheaterstück für Kinder. Das verwaiste Eichhörnchen beklagt sich über sein bitteres Schicksal: Es hat nicht nur die Eltern verloren, sondern auch seine Zähne. Da kommt ihm König Pappone zu Hilfe und schenkt ihm ein goldenes Gebiss. Das Eichhörnchen verspricht dem König als Lohn, ein üppiges Mahl für ihn und seine Gefolgschaft zu bereiten. Der König nimmt das Angebot an, droht ihm aber mit dem Tod, sollte es seine Aufgabe nicht erfüllen. Ein Monat vergeht, der König wird ungeduldig und setzt dem Eichhörnchen eine letzte Frist, das Versprechen einzulösen. Hastig macht es sich an die Arbeit. Doch plötzlich entdeckt es, dass seine Zähne nachgewachsen sind! Nun braucht es das Geschenk des Königs nicht mehr. Es versteckt die fertigen Speisen, läuft zurück in den Wald und freut sich des Lebens, während der König und seine Gefolgschaft vor Hunger zusammenbrechen. Lo scoiattolo in gamba ist eine fabelhafte Kinderoper für Groß und Klein aus der Feder des weltberühmten Filmkomponisten Nino Rota und gehört auf jede Bühne, die sich dem Kindermusiktheater verschrieben hat.

Description

Nino Rota composed his first oratorio, L’infanzia di San Giovanni Battista (1919), at the precocious age of eight and conducted this work himself only four years later. He also approached the genre of music theatre at an early age: in 1926, he completed his first work for the stage Il Principe porcaro (The Swineherd). More than twenty-five years would however pass before Rota composed his next music theatre work: Lo scoiattolo in gamba, based on a fable by Eduardo de Filippo, was not written until 1959. Like Il Principe porcaro, this is also a music theatre work for children.
The orphan squirrel complains of his cruel fate: he has not only lost his parents, but also his teeth. King Pappone comes to his aid and presents him with a set of golden teeth. The squirrel promises to prepare a sumptuous meal for him and his attendants as a reward for his help. The king accepts this offer, but threatens the squirrel with its life if it doesn’t fulfil its part of the bargain. One month passes and the impatient king sends an ultimatum to the squirrel to honour his promise. The squirrel swiftly sets to work, but suddenly discovers that his teeth have grown back! Now he has no further need of the king’s gift. He hides the dishes he has prepared, runs back into the wood and enjoys life while the king and his attendants collapse from hunger.
Lo scoiattolo in gamba is a fabulous children’s opera for both young and old penned by the world-famous film score composer Nino Rota and should be performed on all stages committed to children’s music theatre.
