Metastasios plot, draws upon the narrative of '"The Trial of the Suitors" provided from book 6 of Herodotus's The Histories. 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 two marriages being announced.
Indeed sensationel! I didn't know Anna's powerful and not at all forced high notes so far. Perhaps her range has become slightly deeper in the last 5 yrs?
Funny, she was last month in Switzerland announced as a "rising star" in a Handel/Vivaldi recital. Well, in my humble opinion there's not much room above her.
The most beautiful dramma by the great Metastasio, with a fantastic music. Pergolesi was a very talented musician, and Olimpiade is a masterwork

Non è appunto l'aria "Gemo in un punto", ma l'aria "Quel destrier" che ho riportato prima. Grazie!

Grazie! Thank you!

Quel destrier, che all'albergo è vicino,
più veloce s'affretta nel corso;
non l'arresta l'angustia del morso,
non la voce, che legge gli dà.
Tal quest'alma, che piena è di speme,
nulla teme, consiglio non sente;
e si forma una gioia presente
del pensiero che lieta sarà.

Does the title mean "The Olympics"? If I'm right, then what is she singing about exactly?
