Doriclea

ybop

Premiered at the Teatro San Cassiano in 1645, Doriclea was the first Venetian opera ever to feature as its title character an Amazon warrior woman. The opera is a product of the librettist Giovanni Faustini (ca. 1615–51) and the composer Francesco Cavalli (1602–76), whose highly influential creative partnership in the 1640s solidified many conventions of the emerging art form of opera in Venice
