Background: Deutsche Grammophon present the world premiere recording of the recently rediscovered opera Motezuma, one of Antonio Vivaldi's most ambitious, colorful and exotic scores. Alan Curtis - one of the leading experts of Baroque music - has assembled some of the finest baroque opera vocalists for this world premiere recording.

Curtis was also a leader in editing and reconstructing the third of the music that was missing from the recovered manuscript. The opera is loosely based on the conquest of Mexico by Hernán Cortés and the downfall of its former emperor Moctezuma (also 'Montezuma'; there are a variety of theories as to why the librettist adopted 'Motezuma'), though the libretto includes a fictive love story between Moctezuma's daughter and Cortés's brother.
