Ciro (opera)
Ciro (Cyrus) is an opera in three acts and a prologue by the Italian composer Francesco Cavalli in collaboration with Andrea Mattioli. It was first performed at the Teatro San Giovanni e San Paolo,[1] Venice on January 30, 1654. The libretto is by Giulio Cesare Sorrentino[2][3] in a revised version by Aurelio Aureli. Sorrentino's libretto had been set the previous year by Francesco Provenzale for the royal theatre in Naples on a libretto by Giulio Cesare Sorrentini.[4]
