Imeneo
''Imeneo'' (alternative title: ''Hymen'', HWV 41) is an opera seria in three acts by George Frideric Handel. The Italian-language libretto was adapted from Silvio Stampiglia's ''Imeneo''. Handel had begun composition in September 1738, but did not complete the score until 1740. The opera received its first performance at the Lincoln's Inn Fields in London on 22 November 1740, and received another performance on 13 December. Handel then revised the score, and this revised version received concert performances in Dublin, on 24 and 31 March 1742.〔Joness, Andrew V., "Handling Sources" (review of ''Handel's 'Imeneo': A Pre-Edition Study'' by Cecil Hill) (August 1989). ''The Musical Times'', 130 (1758): pp. 477-478.〕 ==Performance history== Charles Jennens, who created the libretti for both ''Saul'' and ''Messiah'', described Imeneo as "the worst of all Handel’s Compositions", but added "yet half the Songs are good". The first modern production was at the Halle Opera House on 13 March 1960, conducted by Horst-Tanu Margraf. The work was soon after performed in Birmingham in 1961, under the direction of Anthony Lewis.〔Dean, Winton, "From the Provinces: Birmingham. i: Handel's ''Imeneo''" (1961). ''The Musical Times'', 102 (1419): p. 303.〕 Lewis also led the first London revival of the opera since Handel's time, in 1972 at the Royal Academy of Music.〔Hicks, Anthony, "Music in London: ''Imeneo''" (August 1972). ''The Musical Times'', 113 (1554): pp. 786-791.〕 Lewis has prepared a performing edition of the opera.〔Gudger, William D., Review of edition of George Frideric Handel: ''Imeneo (Hymenaeus); An Opera'' (prepared by Anthony Lewis) (1981).
