TRAETTA: Sofonisba

TRAETTA: Sofonisba 4 November. Mannheim Text by M. Verazi (according to M. Fehr only a new version of A. Zeno’s Scipione nelle Spagne, first produced with music by Caldara at Barcelona in 1710). Three acts. Although one of Traetta’s best works it does not seem to have been given on any other stage. The opera was published in Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Bayern (edited by H. Goldschmidt ) in 1914.
