[DE]Il Maestro di Cappella ist ein Opernintermezzo in einem Akt von Domenico Cimarosa, das wahrscheinlich zwischen 1786 und 1793 entstand. Der Autor des Librettos ist unbekannt. Der italienische Begriff 'maestro di cappella', der im Englischen oft mit 'Musiklehrer' übersetzt wird, ist das Äquivalent zum deutschen 'Kapellmeister'. Dieses amüsante Monodrama ist für einen Sänger, einen Bassbariton, geschrieben und zeigt einen aufgeblasenen Maestro, der ein Orchester probt und oft den Klang der Instrumente imitiert. Der Text wurde so angepasst, dass er sich auf die Instrumente des Orchesters bezieht, so dass es auch ein nützliches und amüsantes Stück ist, um dem Publikum die verschiedenen Instrumente vorzustellen, aus denen es besteht.
