Intermezzi are light hearted chamber operas of the 18th century and were extraordinarily popular and influential. They were generally written for soprano and bass. The ensemble The Comic Intermezzo "discovered" these operas in libraries throughout Europe, has transcribed them from the original manuscripts, translated them and performed them throughout the world. They have given modern premiere performances of many of these operas. (See www.thecomicintermezzo.com for more information.) Please note the following:
