Programma di sala con note illustrative di Rodolfo Paoli. Traduzione in francese, inglese, tedesco. Questa opera, in cui Pier Luigi Pizzi si fece notare come scenografo per "la leggera, colta eleganza" (Marina Henderson) segna il suo esordio nel mondo dell'opera barocca; bisognerà attendere però il 1978, colla messa in scena dell'Orlando furioso vivaldiano a Verona, perché Pizzi diventi un interprete di punta della "Belcanto-Renaissance", curando regie liriche di opere di Vivaldi, Haendel, ma soprattutto Rossini.
