Individual evidence

  1. ^ Carl Mennicke: Hasse and the Graun brothers as symphonic orchestras. Leipzig: Breitkopf 1906, p. 377 sets the premiere in 1731 at the Teatro San Angiolo. He gives Hiller, Lebensbeschreibung 1784, p. 232 as the source for this. Corago sets the premiere for January 12, 1732 and not in the Teatro San Angiolo, but in the Teatro Capranica in Rome. For this production there is also the libretto to which the further information relates. Mennicke correctly states that the castrato Felice Salimbeni (as Bircenna), who has worked in Dresden for a long time, appeared for the first time in this production . The also mentioned Giuseppe Appiani cannot be found in the first line-up in the Teatro Capranica.
