The
present reduction derives
from the critical edition
of the score, published
in this catalog in
November 2019. Antonio
Vivaldi's La Dorilla, a
heroic-pastoral opera on
a libretto by Antonio
Maria Lucchini, was
premiered at the Teatro
Sant'Angelo in Venice on
6 November 1726. Six
years later it was
revived in a much
shortened and altered
form at the Sporck
Theatre in Prague. In
1734 it returned for the
last time to the Venetian
stage at the Teatro Sant
Angelo, where, despite
being greatly revised, it
was once again
successful. Many of its
recitatives had been
shortened and several
arias replaced, some with
movements borrowed from
other operas by Vivaldi
and some with arias taken
from ones by other
composers, such as Johann
Adolf Hasse, Geminiano
Giacomelli, Domenico
Sarro and Leonardo Leo.
The adaptation was the
work of the Venetian man
of letters Bartolomeo
Vitturi, who adjusted the
libretto with the precise
aim of satisfying the
demands of the public,
which wished to hear the
most famous pieces by the
composers who were
fashionable in those
years. This vocal-score
edition includes a
synthetic introduction of
the historical context,
the description of the
main source employed and
a choice of the critical
Notes to the musical
text.
