Description:
The opera Cleofide by Johann Adolf Hasse was part of an ambitious plan to revive the art of Italian opera at the Saxon court. The dramatic plot – about Alexander the Great’s conquests in India – is brought to life by Hasse’s brilliant setting.
The duet “Se mai più sarò geloso” is a dramatic encounter that illuminates the conflict between the characters Cleofide and Poro. Both question the sincerity of the other’s feelings and, in their suffering, desperately wish to be understood.
