Teseo
''Teseo'' ("Theseus", HWV 9; (:teˈzɛo)) is an opera seria with music by George Frideric Handel, the only Handel opera that is in five acts.〔Price, Curtis, "''Teseo'' in Boston and London" (February 1986). ''Early Music'', 14 (1): pp. 149, 151.〕 The Italian-language libretto was by Nicola Francesco Haym, after Philippe Quinault's ''Thésée''. It was Handel's third London opera, intended to follow the success of ''Rinaldo'' after the unpopular ''Il pastor fido''.
First performed on 10 January 1713,''Teseo'' featured "magical" effects such as flying dragons, transformation scenes and apparitions and had a cast of notable Italian opera singers. It was a success with London audiences, receiving thirteen performances even though the stage machinery for the "magical" effects broke down, and would have received more performances had not one of the theatre's managers run away with the box office receipts.〔
==Performance history==
The opera was premiered at the Queen's Theatre in the Haymarket on 10 January 1713. It received an additional 12 performances through 16 May 1713.〔Kimbell, David, "The Libretto of Handel's ''Teseo''" (October 1963). ''Music & Letters'', 44 (4): pp. 371-379.〕 The singers included the castratos Valeriano Pellegrini and Valentino Urbani. Between 1713 and 1984, there were only two revivals,〔Dean, Winton, "Music in London: Opera – ''Teseo''" (October 1985). ''The Musical Times'', 126 (1712): pp. 611-612.\〕 the first being the revival under Fritz Lehmann in Göttingen on 29 June 1947. As with all Baroque opera seria, ''Teseo'' went unperformed for many years, but with the revival of interest in Baroque music and historically informed musical performance since the 1960s,''Teseo'', 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 )〕 In 1985, the tercentenary of Handel's birth, the opera received three revivals.〔 Among other productions, the Handel Festival, Halle performed the work in 2003, English Touring Opera produced ''Teseo'' in October and November 2007, and the Frankfurt Opera mounted a production in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oper-frankfurt.de/en/page521.cfm?stueck=315 )〕
