About
First staged in 1724 during the Carnival of Rome in the Capranica Theatre, the original Il Tigrane was composed by the trio of Benedetto Micheli (Act 1), Antonio Vivaldi (Act 2), and Nicola Romaldi (Act 3). While the libretto has survived, the music of the first and third acts is lost. The composers dedicated the opera to the Pope’s niece, Faustina Mattei Conti Guadagnolo. The recording features the original manuscript score of Act II only.
