| Composer | Gluck, Christoph Willibald |
| Date of performance | 1765-10-04 |
| Dating of manuscript | 1765 |
| Notes | The opera was composed in honor of Emperor Franz Stephan’s name day, which was supposed to be celebrated on October 4, 1765, in Innsbruck, where the court was staying for the wedding festivities of Archduke Leopold and Maria Ludovica of Spain in August 1765. However, the Emperor died unexpectedly, so a performance of the opera did not take place. Even copyists from Vienna were staying in Innsbruck in July and August (see Österreichisches Staatsarchiv, Finanz-Hofkammerarchiv, Hofzahlamtsbuch 386, fol. 17v). The score was written by a Viennese copyist on paper that was not typically used in Vienna, suggesting that the score was created in Innsbruck during the summer of 1765. |
