L'oracolo in Messenia
L'oracolo in Messenia is a 1738 pasticcio in three acts by Antonio Vivaldi to a libretto by Apostolo Zeno, based on Francesco Scipione Maffei's 1713 play. The opera was composed for the autumn Venetian carnival season of 1738 after Vivaldi took over the Teatro San Angelo from the impresario who had managed it the year before. An expanded version was first staged at the Theater am Kärntnertor, Vienna. The original score was lost and a restored version by Fabio Biondi, which includes music by Riccardo Broschi and Geminiano Giacomelli, of that performance was recorded in 2012.
