Description
- Composer/Author: HANDEL, GEORGE FRIDERIC
- Instrumentation: VOCAL SCORE
- Model # BA4031-90
Composer: George Frideric Handel
Arranger: Martin Schelhaas
Editor: J. Merrill Knapp
Format: Vocal Score, Urtext edition
Instrumentation: Soloists, Orchestra
Language: Italian, German
On 25 May 1715 Handel's fifth London opera received its triumphant premiere. The success of what was Handel's third opera about magic was based not only on the splendid new sets and costumes but also on the extraordinary richness of beautiful music which accompanied the dramatic experiences of the lovers Amadigi and Oriana in battle with the sorceress Melissa.
" Amadigi " was probably written with the famous castrato Nicolini in mind, who sang the title role in the premiere. The opera remained regularly in the repertoire until 1717 with small changes caused by illness or a change of singers. " Amadigi " was also performed several times in German in Hamburg between 1717 and 1720.
The new vocal score is based on volume II/8 of the "Halle Handel" Edition; the appendix contains all surviving variants from the original performances during Handel's lifetime.
