Il Bajazet was a work of Vivaldi’s late maturity, a dramatic tale that recounts the capture of the Turkish sultan Bajazet by the all-conquering Tartar, Tamerlane. It is a pasticcio, a well-established form in which Vivaldi incorporated arias by some of the greatest young composers of his time – Johann Adolf Hasse, Geminiano Giacomelli, and Riccardo Broschi, brother to the famous castrato Farinelli – to form a generous buffet of musical fireworks. Still, Vivaldi’s recitatives, choruses, and arias form the backbone of the opera and constitute the majority of the music, producing a work of kaleidoscopic invention.
