Summary "Opere, Volume Secondo: scritti critici e letterari" by Giovanni Berchet is a collection of critical and literary writings likely produced in the early 19th century. The book includes various essays and letters discussing contemporary theatrical works, particularly analyzing the operas and the state of Italian music. It reflects Berchet's passionate insights into the evolving landscape of Italian theater, highlighting the cultural and artistic dialogues of his time. The opening portion of the work features a letter dated July 27, 1813, where Berchet specifically comments on the opera "Demetrio e Polibio" and the musical style of Rossini. He conveys his initial hesitations about offering musical critique due to his lack of formal musical education, yet he ultimately finds deep emotional resonance in Rossini's work. Berchet vividly expresses his enthusiasm for the beauty of the singing and the emotional power of the performance, praising the talents of female singers while contrasting their artistry with the pitfalls of overly complex musical styles. His reflections highlight his belief in the necessity for art that speaks to the heart and soul of the audience, advocating for a revival of genuine sentiment in Italian music.
