PURE OPERA FANTASY
He The degrees it was the fifth opera that Handel composed during his stay in London, between 1710 Y 1759, and another of his attempts to bring the Italian lyrical style closer to the English. Although the authorship of the libretto is still a matter of discussion, this magical drama for music in three acts this inspired by an earlier opera, he Amadis from Greece by the French André de Destouches and libretto by Antoine Houdar de La Motte.
