Libretto by Pietro Metastasio.
"The total number of Anfossi’s operas, both heroic and comic, has not been established, but is certainly over 60 and possibly 70 or more ... Anfossi’s early style is close to Piccinni’s, a reflection of their close professional relationship ... His melodies ... contain moments of elegance and warmth ... Several stylistic changes are noticeable in his later works: textures are lighter, and there is more effective use, both in accompaniments and melody, of pauses and rests; there are fewer embellishments and ornamental notes in the melodic parts; the orchestration is more colourful, partly because of a more imaginative use of wind instruments. Gerber noted the originality of his finales ... Anfossi was particularly successful at depicting sentimental characters and situations ..." Michael F. Robinson, Mary Hunter and Marita P.
