Siroe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siroe, re di Persia (or 'Siroes, King of Persia') is an opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel. The Italian-language libretto was by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Pietro Metastasio's Siroe. The libretto was also set by Handel's contemporaries Leonardo Vinci and Johann Adolf Hasse.

It was Handel's 12th opera for the Royal Academy of Music. It was written for the sopranos Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni.

The opera was first given at the King's Theatre in London on 17 February 1728 and it was also seen in Brunswick. It was rediscovered and performed in Gera in December 1925.
