Ippolito ed Aricia
Opera by Tommaso Traetta / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ippolito ed Aricia is a "reform opera" in five acts by Tommaso Traetta with an Italian libretto by Carlo Innocenzo Frugoni. The opera is based upon abbé Simon-Joseph Pellegrin's libretto for Rameau's earlier opera Hippolyte et Aricie, which was in turn based on Racine's tragedy Phèdre. The work premiered at the Teatro Ducale in Parma on 9 May 1759 and is still occasionally performed today.[1]
