AMAZING PERFORMANCE! BRAVO! do you have any more arias from this live opera please! I LOVE GALANTE-ERA REPERTOIRE! so sad it is sooooo rarely performed. I have Mazzoni's setting of Aminta, il Re Pastore; to my favorite librettist Metastasio!Mozart presented his take on it, and who can compete with that, so that is my favorite version, but sadly Mozart never did enough opere serie, as the genre style was slowly declining by then. I would have enjoyed his rendition of Antigono, even more so!
The final fermata is quite astonishing! I admire how Michael Spyres managed to perform it, although for most of contemporary listeners high-notes in falsetto have a weird effect. Thanks for posting this!
I watched this opera at CCB and you are the first to post a video of this unique aria - and for that I thank you - of an opera who had only two "récitas"... To only exibit an opera two nights is not just strange, is injust to the composer... His word deserved more attention.
@obizin why don't you say it to the National Opera Theatre that never invested in such repertoire? They should be the ones entitled to do such work and they are given money for this. I am just gratefull to have gotten the chance for this two recitas after 250 years of silence and then got it back with such quality.

Fabulous, if anyone is wondering, the high note is G above high C (in mezzo-soprano range) and down to G below low C (bass-baritone range).

Does anyone have a suggestion of where to find a score for this opera or even just this aria?
