The first trip to Italy, on which father and son Mozart set off on December 13, 1769 and from which they did not return to Salzburg until March 28, 1771, brought the young composer commissions for two opere serie: in March 1770 for the Milan Carnival season 1770/71 in the Regio Ducal Teatro "Mitridate" K. 87 (74a), composition began on September 29, 1770 in Bologna, first performance on St. Stephen's Day 1770 (December 26) and "Lucio Silla" K. 135. This second commission, again intended for Milan and for the carnival season (1771/72), undoubtedly goes back to the success of "Mitridate"; a letter announcing this reached the Mozarts in Verona, where they had both spent a few days in March on their way back to Salzburg. (At around the same time, Wolfgang received an invitation from Vienna to provide the music for a serenata teatrale, "Ascanio in Alba" K. 111, for the wedding of Archduke Ferdinand, Maria Theresa's third son, scheduled for October 1771 in Milan).
