Giove in Argo
''Giove in Argo'' (''Jupiter in Argos'', HWV A14) is an Italian opera by George Frideric Handel. It is one of Handel's three pasticcio works made up of music and arias from his previous operas. The libretto was written by Antonio Maria Lucchini. The opera was first performed at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, London, on 1 May 1739.
== History ==
The libretto by the Venetian poet Lucchini had been written for a setting by Antonio Lotti in Dresden in 1717. Handel might have heard Lotti's opera on his visit to Dresden in 1719, where the famous Senesino sang the part of Jupiter. Probably Handel took a copy of the text to England and remembered it in 1739 when he was looking for a libretto for a short ''pasticcio'' opera with three female characters in it.
Handel brought several ''pasticci'' to the London stage. In most cases he adapted successful works of Italian composers for London, but he wrote three ''pasticci'' in which he re-used music from his own earlier works. They are the well known ''Oreste'', the little-known ''Alessandro Severo'' and the completely unknown ''Giove in Argo''. In the last-named opera he used, apart from music from his earlier works, some original compositions as well as two arias (sung by ''Iside'') written by the Italian composer Francesco Araja.
The opera failed in London and was abandoned after only two performances.
