(Fidelity Rewarded)
This three-act opera, to a libretto by Gianbattista Lorenzi , was composed for the inauguration in 1781 of the new opera house at Esterhaza, that replaced one which burnt down fifteen months earlier. The people of Cumae worship the goddess Diana, but her temple has been desecrated and there is a curse on the population.
Every year a pair of faithful lovers must be sacrificed to a sea monster. So fidelity is at a premium in Cumae. Sung in Italian. Fillide (contralto) (tenor) (mezzo) (baritone) (sop) (tenor) (bass) (sop)

Jeanie with the light brown hair; Hard times come again no more; The voice of bygone days; Open thy lattice, love; Beautiful dreamer;
That's what's the matter; Molly! Do you love me?; Sweetly she sleeps, my
Alice fair; Comrades, fill no glass for me; My wife is a most knowing woman; Gentle Annie;
Linger in blissful repose; Ah! May the red rose live alway
