George PetrouAbout
At the beginning of 1735, he wrote the opera seria Polifemo for the Opera of the Nobility, which had been set up in the British metropolis as a competitor to Handel's opera empire. The libretto by Paolo Rolli is based on two well-known Greek myths, both linked to the Cyclops Polyphemus: the story about the nymph Galatea and the shepherd Acis, and the encounter with Odysseus, which ends less than favourably for the one-eyed giant.
Porpora created music of great expressiveness and virtuosity for the many-coloured scenes, which does not fail to have an effect then or now especially when a top-class ensemble makes Porpora's score shine.
