APGRD Notes
Libretto: 'Andromaca. Dramma per musica da rappresentarsi nel nuovo Teatro delle Grazie in Vincenza l'autunno dell'anno 1746, umiliato a S.E. Il signor Verità Zenobio, capitano e V.podestà di Vincenza' (Vincenza, Pietro Antonio Berno, 1746). The libretto for this production was probably an adaptation of Antonio Salvi's libretto Astianatte, first set by Perti for Florence in 1701 (see Sartori ID 3265). The libretto can be linked to Euripides via Racine's Andromaque: it is an adaptation of Racine's tragedy into an opera libretto; according to the operatic convention the ending is modified into a 'lieto fine' (happy ending). The composer is not named.
