Vincenzo Maria Righini (22 January 1756 in Bologna - 19 August 1812 in Bologna) was an Italian composer, singer and kapellmeister. He studied singing and composition with Padre Martini in his hometown. Initially he performed as a singer in Florence (1769) and Rome (1770), however, according to Fétis he made his debut as a tenor in Parma in 1775.[1] Opera buffa La vedova scaltra, considered his first contribution to musical theatre, was performed in 1774 at the Prague theatre "V kotcích". From 1774 to 1777 Righini worked in Prague, as a member of the theatre ensemble of Giuseppe Bustelli. He composed and staged operas to the libretti of N. Porta. At the end of 1777 he moved to Vienna, where he was engaged as a music teacher and composer. His comic operas were often performed in Burgtheater.[2] In 1787 he replaced Antonio Salieri as the court kapellmeister for a brief period, Salieri stayed in Paris in that time.[2] In 1787 he also moved to Mainz, where he became a court kapellmeister for the elector Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal. In March, 1793, he was appointed the Royal Prussian court kapellmeister and he led the operation of theatres in Berlin and Potsdam. He also composed grand operas for local theatres, often to the libretti of A. De'Filistri. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
