George Frideric Handel's lost Hamburg operas : ウィキペディア英語版 | George Frideric Handel's lost Hamburg operas
In 1703 the youthful composer George Frideric Handel took up residence in Hamburg, where he remained until 1706. During this period he composed four operas, only the first of which, ''Almira'', has survived more or less intact. The music for the other three, ''Nero'', ''Florindo'', and ''Daphne'', is lost except for a few short orchestral excerpts from the latter two. Handel was born and grew up in the town of Halle, where he received his early musical education and became an accomplished organist. In Hamburg he obtained employment as a violinist in the orchestra at the Oper am Gänsemarkt, the city's famous opera house, and learned the rudiments of opera composition, mainly under the influences of Reinhard Keiser, the theatre's music director, and Johann Mattheson, its leading vocalist. The Gänsemarkt was largely dedicated to Keiser's compositions; his temporary absence in 1704 gave Handel his chance, and in quick succession he wrote ''Almira'' and ''Nero''. The former was successful, the latter less so and never performed after its initial run of three performances. ''Florindo'' and ''Daphne'', originally conceived as two parts of a single super-opera, were not produced at the Gänsemarkt before Handel left Hamburg for Italy in 1706. No music that can be definitively traced to ''Nero'' has been identified, although Handel scholars have speculated that some of it may have been used in later works, particularly ''Agrippina'' which has a related storyline and some of the same characters. Fragments of music from ''Florindo'' and ''Daphne'' have been preserved, although without the vocal parts, and these elements have been incorporated into an orchestral suite, first recorded in 2012. == Background ==
