Riccardo Primo
''Riccardo primo, re d’Inghilterra'' ("Richard the First, King of England", HWV 23) is an opera seria in three acts written by George Frideric Handel for the Royal Academy of Music (1719) . The Italian-language libretto was by Paolo Antonio Rolli, after Francesco Briani's ''Isacio tiranno'', set by Antonio Lotti in 1710. Handel wrote the work for the Royal Academy's 1726/1727 opera season, and also as homage to the newly crowned George II and the nation where Handel had just received citizenship.〔Dean, Winton, "Handel's ''Riccardo Primo''" (July 1964). ''The Musical Times'', 105 (1457): pp. 498–500.〕
''Riccardo Primo'' was the third opera Handel composed for the trio of famous star Italian singers, the castrato Senesino and the sopranos Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni.
==Performance history==
The opera received its premiere at the King's Theatre in London on 11 November 1727, and 11 subsequent performances. It was also performed in Hamburg and Braunschweig in February 1729.〔Händel, ''Riccardo primo, Re d'Inghilterra''. ed. Andreas Köhs. piano reduction. Bärenreiter 2007, Kassel p. X〕 The Hamburg performance, led by none other than Telemann, included two new comic characters, Murmilla and Gelasius; recitatives and the added arias for the new characters were translated into German although the original arias remained in Italian. Handel subsequently re-used music from the opera in ''Scipione'' and ''Tolomeo''. The opera fell into neglect after the 1728 closing of the Royal Academy.〔
''Riccardo Primo'' was rediscovered and performed by the Handel Opera Society at Sadler's Wells Opera in London on 8 July 1964.〔Dean, Winton, "Handel Operas" (September 1964). ''The Musical Times'', 105 (1459): pp. 670–671.〕 Later performances were given at Kourion Amphitheater in Cyprus at 1991, in order to mark the 800th anniversary of the historical events on which the opera is based, and also at the 1996 Göttingen Festival.〔Drakeford, Richard, "Festival Reviews: Virtue & Pleasure" (September 1996). ''The Musical Times'', 137 (1843): pp. 36+38.〕 The work will be given its United States premiere, presented as ''Richard the Lionheart'', by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis during the summer 2015 season.〔Sarah Bryan Miller, ("Opera Theatre announces 2015 season" ), on stltoday.com.
