Florindo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Der beglückte Florindo (HWV 3) is an opera composed by Handel and was ordered by Reinhard Keiser, the manager of the Hamburg Opera at that time. The opera was performed in Theater am Gänsemarkt and probably directed by Christoph Graupner in 1708 after Handel had left for Italy. It is part of a double opera. The other part being Die verwandelte Daphne. Keiser mixed up the opera with a play in low German, called die lustige Hochzeit, afraid the audience would get tired otherwise. Handel was not pleased, as Romain Rolland suggests. Only fragments of the score survive.

The libretto was by Heinrich Hinsch, a lawyer, who also wrote the text for Reinhard Keiser's first opera in Hamburg: Mahumet II (1696), based on the life of Mehmet II. Hinsch had been written librettos since 1683. He died in 1712.
