- Il_pesceballo abstract "Il pesceballo, (The Fish-Ball) is a 19th-century American pasticcio opera in one act featuring the music of Bellini, Donizetti, Mozart, and Rossini, with a spoof Italian libretto by Francis James Child which makes use of some of grand opera's most popular melodies. The recitatives and chorus parts were written by John Knowles Paine, and James Russell Lowell translated the libretto into English.Child was a Harvard English professor and opera lover, and the text was originally inspired by an incident which occurred to a colleague of his. One evening George Martin Lane was trying to make his way to Cambridge, MA, from Boston. He discovered that he had only 25 cents, which was not enough for both supper and the fare needed to get to Cambridge. As he was very tired and hungry, he stopped at a local diner and asked for half of a serving of macaroni. After he had recounted the story to his friends, he wrote a comic ballad, called the Lay of the One Fishball. A fishball was a fried New England concoction made of potatoes and fish stock, and usually eaten for breakfast. The ballad became very popular with Harvard students, and inspired Child's opera; it also became the source for the popular Tin Pan Alley song, \"One Meat Ball\".The opera begins with a chorus sung to the tune of \"La dolce aurora\" from Rossini's Mosè in Egitto.The song of the Stranger in the second scene is adapted to the \"Serenade\" in The Barber of Seville; the song of the Padrona in the fourth scene is set to the \"Non piu mesta\" of La Cenerentola; the duet in the fifth scene to \"La dove prende Amor recetto\" of the Magic Flute; the \"Cavatina\" in the sixth scene to the \"Di pescator\" of Lucrezia Borgia; the aria of the seventh scene, to the \"Madamina\" of Don Giovanni; the chorus of scene eight to the \"Guerra, Guerra\" of Norma; the duet of scene nine to the \"O sole piu ratto\" of Lucia di Lammermoor; the \"Cavatina\" of scene ten to the \"Meco all'altar\" of Norma; the chorus of the same scene to the \"Bando, Bando\" of Lucrezia Borgia, and the trio which follows, to the \"Guai se tu sfoggi\" of the same opera; the piece concludes with the aria to \"Vieni!\", from Donizetti's La favorite.".
