Almahide
Music by multiple composers
Almahide is a pasticcio opera arranged by John James Heidegger. Musically the work was based on Ariosti’s Amor tra nemici (1708), but most of the arias were replaced by the work of other composers, including six arias from Giovanni Bononcini‘s Turno Aricino. It is generally described as the first opera in London sung entirely in Italian, by Italian singers, although there were intermezzi in English between the acts of the main opera.
