ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
At this time there is no video clip of the performance available. Instead a clip from another performance is shown.
Silla (full title Lucio Cornelio Silla, HWV 10) is an opera seria (referred to as a dramma per musica) in three acts by George Frideric Handel. The Italian-language libretto was by Giacomo Rossi. The story concerns the Roman dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138–78 BC) as recounted by Plutarch.
The opera appears to have been a pièce d’occasion, which may have been performed only once.
The music was recycled in Handel’s later opera Amadigi di Gaula.
