Sosarme
''Sosarme, re di Media'' ("Sosarmes, King of Media", HWV 30) is an opera by George Frideric Handel written in 1732 for the King's Theatre in the Haymarket, London, where it ran for 12 performances. The text was based on an earlier libretto by Antonio Salvi, ''Dionisio, Re di Portogallo'' (Dionisius, King of Portugal), and adapted by an unknown writer. The original setting of Portugal was changed to Sardis in Lydia.
==Performance history==
''Sosarme'' had its premiere on 15 February 1732 and was a great success, as noted by the diary known as "Colman's Opera Register": "In Febry Sosarmes - a New Opera - took much by Hendell - & was for many Nights much crowded to some peoples admiration."
It was revived for 3 performances in 1734 with arias from ''Riccardo Primo''. The first revival since 1734 was in 1970 at Abingdon, UK, though the work had been broadcast in full by the BBC in 1955, a performance on which the slightly abridged recording of the same year, under Anthony Lewis (listed below) was based.〔Dean, Winton, "Reports: Abingdon" (1970). ''The Musical Times'', 111 (1533): p. 1127, Dean Winton, "Handel's Operas 1726-1741" Boydell 2006 p 228〕 As with all Baroque opera seria, ''Sosarme'' went unperformed for many years, but with the revival of interest in Baroque music and historically informed musical performance since the 1960s,''Sosarme'', like all Handel operas, receives performances at festivals and opera houses today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://gfhandel.org/biography.html )〕 Among other performances, the opera was staged by the London Handel Festvial in 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haendel.cz/ed2004soslondon.php )〕
