Ajoutée par magataganm, 09 Déc 2014 L'Olimpiade is a dramma per musica in three acts that was composed by Antonio Vivaldi. The opera uses an Italian libretto by Pietro Metastasio that was originally written for Antonio Caldara's 1733 opera of the same name. Vivaldi's version premiered in Venice at the Teatro Sant'Angelo on 17 February 1734. The libretto is in three acts by Metastasio originally written for an operatic setting by Antonio Caldara of 1733. Metastasio’s plot draws upon the narrative of "The Trial of the Suitors" provided from Book 6 of The Histories of Herodotus. The story, set in Ancient Greece at the time of the Olympic Games, is about amorous rivalry and characters' taking places to gain the loved one. The story ends with the announcement of two marriages. Although originally composed for strings and accompainment (Harpsichord and Basso Continuo), I created this arrangement of the Sinfonia for Atring Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
