Nicola Calandro [Calandria, Calandra]
(Frasso Tebesino?, Benevento, 1715 - Roma?, c.1760)

Italian composer. Lack of biographical information makes him appear an obscure minor figure, but the distribution of his manuscripts north of the Alps suggests a certain popularity of his music outside Italy. His birthplace is inferred from his nickname, ‘Frascia’; he may have been a son of Giacomo Calandra of Frasso. The later date of his operatic works casts doubt on Schmidl’s account that he studied in Naples at the conservatories of the Poveri di Gesù Cristo in 1721 and of the Pietà dei Turchini in 1725, an account supported by neither Florimo nor Di Giacomo. According to Eitner, he was maestro di cappella of S Padre in Rome. He appears to have worked in Naples at the small Teatro della Pace from about 1747 to 1749, continuing the tradition of dialect opera buffa; to judge from performance records, he had moved by 1756 to north Italy, where he styled himself ‘virtuoso della Casa Orsini d'Aragona’. A letter of 5 February 1757 from Rome (I-Bc) attests to acquaintance with Padre Martini. #ClassicalMusic
