Alessandro Severo
Alessandro Severo is an opera by George [Frideric Handel] composed in 1738. It is one of Handel's three pasticcio works, made up of the music and arias of his previous operas Giustino, Berenice and Arminio. Only the overture and recitatives were new. The impresario Johann [Jacob Heidegger] probably selected the 1717 libretto by Apostolo Zeno, originally written for Antonio Lotti and re-used by many composers thereafter.
