Giacomo Cordella

Giacomo Cordella (Naples, 25 July 1786 – Naples, 8 May 1847) was an Italian composer.

Biography[edit]

Cordella studied in Naples with Fedele Fenaroli and Giovanni Paisiello.[1][2] In 1804 he composed his first work, a cantata entitled La Vittoria dell'Arca contro Gerico.[1][3] With the help of Paisiello in 1805 he had the possibility to produce in Venice his first opera, Il ciarlatano, which was appreciated for its comic verve[1] and then performed in other cities in northern Italy, including Milan, Turin and Padua.[1][2]

Cordella continued his activity mainly in Naples, where he was appreciated for his opere buffe, while his few opere serie met with failures. His greatest success was Una follia,[2] first performed in 1813, an opera buffa featuring "a vivacious plot and a melody that flows agreeably".[3] Cordella composed also sacred music.
