Background: A Vivaldian rarity, Rosmira Fedele, first staged at Venice’s Teatro Sant’Angelo on 27th January 1738. Rosmira Fedele is the last opera by Vivaldi that has come down to us. Written three years before the composer’s death, this work heralds the end of one of the most fertile theatrical careers in the history of music. On the model of Dorilla in Tempe (1734) and Bajazet (1735), and unlike the compilations of fashionable arias which were mechanically produced, then, by many composers, Rosmira is a pastiche - a wide-spread practice in that day, and one which was considered artistically valid, according to Vivaldi’s own words; many parts, however, were written ex novo, with the Venetian composer keeping for himself the best passages of the opera, from a musical and dramatic point of view.
