Pietro Mingotti (b Venice, c1702; d Copenhagen, 28 April 1759) was an Italian impresario active across continental Europe. His brother, Antonio, formed an opera company in Prague around 1732, consisting of 3 male singers and 5 females; Pietro quickly followed suit, and the two troupes achieved Europe-wide success (thought mostly in German and Austrain cities), sometimes performing together. Pietro's company, the more high-profile of the two, at times included Christoph Willibald Gluck and Giuseppe Sarti as members. Most of the works performed belonged to the genre of opera seria, though opere buffe were also given.
