Partenope (Vinci)
1725 opera by Leonardo Vinci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Rosmira fedele, also known in modern revivals as Partenope, is a 1725 opera by Leonardo Vinci. It is largely based on Domenico Sarro's 1707 setting of Silvio Stampiglia's libretto Partenope but with new arias by Vinci.[1] It was premiered 31 January with Antonia Merighi as Queen Partenope and Faustina Bordoni as Rosmira.[2] Vivaldi set Stampiglia's libretto as a pasticcio Rosmira Fedele in 1738 using arias by Handel, Hasse, Pergolesi, and minor local Venetian composers.[3]
