This dispute is being discussed all over London and Europe, which ultimately leads to Cuzzoni, who, at Handel's instigation, should no longer sing for the Royal Academy for the 1727/1728 season, is hired again. This reinstatement is mainly due to the personal intervention of the English King George I, who stated in a letter to the directors of the Royal Academy “that if they did not come to an agreement with Cuzzoni, he would no longer come to the opera and also the annual subscription rate of £ 1000 would not settle ”.
