註釋This study of Scarlatti's first and most-performed opera investigates the reasons for its popularity, initially political, but subsequently musical. Among the details inspected are the social and political situation in Rome; an analysis of the music and libretto; the earliest Roman performances using hitherto unpublished contemporary documents and comparisons with other works performed-during the Carnival of 1679; Queen Christina's early patronage of Scarlatti and his first opera; subsequent performances through 1699, the last-known production; and conclusions about the importance of this opera.
