Didone abbandonata (Albinoni)
''Didone abbandonata '' (''Dido Abandoned'') was an opera in three acts composed by Tomaso Albinoni. Albinoni's music (now lost) was set to Pietro Metastasio's libretto, ''Didone abbandonata'', which was in turn based on the story of Dido and Aeneas from the fourth book of Virgil's ''Aeneid''. The opera premiered on 26 December 1724 at the Teatro San Cassiano in Venice and was the first time that an opera based on a Metastasio libretto was performed in Venice.〔Giazotto (1945) p. 63〕
==Background and performance history==
Metastasio's libretto was first set by Domenico Sarro, whose opera premiered at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples on 1 February 1724. However, for the libretto's presentation in Venice, Giovanni Orsato, the impresario of the Teatro San Cassiano, commissioned his fellow Venetian, Tomaso Albinoni, to compose a completely new setting.〔Strohm (1995) p. 261〕 According to the April 1725 edition of ''Mercure Galant'', Albinoni's version had a considerable success not only in Venice, but also in Florence and Milan.〔Selfridge-Field (2007) p. 377〕 It was frequently revived over the next few years, including performances in Crema (1726), Breslau (1726), Linz (date unknown), Pesaro (1730), Prague (1731), and Ferrara (1733).〔The performances in Breslau, Linz and Prague were in German translation. Freeman (1992) pp. 137-138〕
The title role was sung in the premiere by Marianna Bulgarelli, famed for her talent as an actress. Bulgarelli was also the patron and mistress of the young Metastasio who was living in her home while he wrote ''Didone''. He intended it as a showcase for her, and according to contemporary accounts, Bulgarelli had considerable influence on the work, especially in shaping Dido's scenes of jealousy in Act 2.〔Markstrom (2007) p. 146〕 Marianna Bulgarelli and her Aeneas, Nicolo Grimaldi, reprised their roles on 10 May 1725 in Reggio Emilia for the premiere of Nicola Porpora's setting of the ''Didone'' libretto. Markstrom suggests that she was probably also present in Rome to coach the castrato "Farfallino" who sang the title role in Leonardo Vinci's 1726 setting of the libretto. (The papal ban on female performers in Rome's theatres prevented Bulgarelli from singing the role of Dido herself).〔
