Europa riconosciuta
''Europa riconosciuta'' is an opera in two acts by Antonio Salieri, designated as a ''dramma per musica'', set to an Italian libretto by Mattia Verazi.
The opera takes place in Tyre in Phoenicia and tells a story of love, violence and political discord in ancient times. The central character, Europa, was once the lover of Zeus and helps resolve all disagreements after she discloses her identity - thus the title "Europa Revealed. " 〔Horowitz, Jason, 'For Mozart's Archrival, an Italian Renaissance', (''New York Times'' ), December 28, 2004〕 Though a traditional opera seria, the work differentiates itself from several of the typical characteristics of the genre. For example: a murder is seen onstage and an extended finale is used in both acts, a practice more typical of opera buffa. Musically, the opera is quite challenging, requiring four principal singers capable of spanning wide tessituras, sustaining long phrases, and making dextrous leaps.〔Sachs, Harvey, 'La Scala Is the Star at Its Own Reopening', (''New York Times'' ), December 9, 2004〕 For example, the roles of Europa and Semele go up to a high F sharp above high C a few times and at one point Europa even sings a high G.〔Gurewitsch, Matthew, 'In search of a lost reputation', ''Los Angeles Times'', May 8, 2005.

== Performance history ==
The opera was first performed for the inauguration of La Scala on August 3, 1778. The opera was not performed again until December 7, 2004 for the re-opening of La Scala, after the theater had been closed for almost three years for major renovations. Since the work had not been performed for so long, La Scala had to re-print the score for ''Europa riconosciuta'' from scratch, working from the original manuscripts in its library.〔'Opera returns to Milan's La Scala', (''China Daily'' ), December 8, 2004〕 The premiere of the new ''Europa riconosciuta'' was broadcast live on a closed-circuit telecast and in future may be made available on DVD.〔Gurewitsch, Matthew, ''Ibid''.〕
