0:22:35 Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676): Lasso, io vivo e non ha vita, from “Egisto”, an opera in a prologue and three acts by Francesco Cavalli. It was designated as a favola dramatica musicale. The Italian libretto was by Giovanni Faustini, his second text for Cavalli.

0:29:00 Monteverdi: Dormo ancora o son desto? (Am I still asleep, or am I awake?) from Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria, SV 325, “The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland”, an opera consisting of a prologue and five acts (later revised to three), set by Claudio Monteverdi to a libretto by Giacomo Badoaro.

0:45:15 Cavalli: Dormi, cara Didone from “Didone”, an opera by Francesco Cavalli, set to a libretto by Giovanni Francesco Busenello (later librettist for Claudio Monteverdi). The opera was first performed at Venice’s Teatro San Cassiano during 1641. The plot is based on Virgil’s Aeneid (Book 4 in particular), though Busenello, in his second libretto for Cavalli, replaces Dido’s tragic suicide of Virgil with a happy ending in which Dido marries Iarbas, King of the Getuli, who saves Dido from herself after Aeneas abandons her. The action is divided into a prologue and 3 acts.
