Alessandro nell’Indie (Giuseppe Sarti)

About the show

A distinct musical setting of Metastasio’s libretto Alessandro nell’Indie by Giuseppe Sarti. Sarti’s first setting, performed in Copenhagen in autumn; a 1766 Padua adaptation is also noted. The source does not provide a setting-specific plot synopsis; the libretto concerns Alexander’s campaign in India and the conflict involving King Porus, Cleofide, and their court.
