Disguise and transvestism were an essential part of opera plots from the Venetian origins of this genre. In line with this tradition -   continued by ópera seria – the episode of Aquiles on the island of Esciros inspired more than 30 compositions for voice based on the libretto of Metastasio in 1737: Tetis, mother of Aquiles, disguises her son as a woman to hide him in the court of King Licomedes and prevent his participation in the Trojan War.  (What else is missing?). However, the plan begins to come apart when Aquiles, incapable of subduing his virility, falls in love with Princess Deidamia.

Francesco Corselli is a fundamental name in Spanish opera of the 18th century:  as Kapellmeister of the Royal Chapel of Madrid for nearly 30 years, he was the principal supplier of opera to the Spanish court. Some of these were under the artistic direction of the famous castrato Farinelli. First seen in 1744 at the Real Coliseo del Buen Retiro in Madrid, Achille in Sciro was composed to celebrate the marriage of the Infanta of Spain, Maria Teresa Rafaela to the Dauphin of France. Staging this opera was postponed by the interruption of the pandemic and it represents a momentous milestone in the recovery of our musical heritage.

Costumes and cross-dressing have been an essential part of operatic plots since the Venetian origins of this genre. In line with this tradition –continued by serious opera–, the episode of Achilles on the island of Esciros inspired more than thirty lyrical compositions from Metastasio's 1737 libretto: Thetis, mother of Achilles, disguises her son of a woman to hide him in the court of King Lycomedes and thus prevent his participation in the Trojan War (what could go wrong?). However, the plan begins to fail when Achilles, unable to break his virility, falls in love with the princess Deidamia.

Los disfraces y el travestismo formaron parte esencial de las tramas operísticas desde los orígenes venecianos de este género. En línea con esta tradición –continuada por la ópera seria–, el episodio de Aquiles en la isla de Es-ciros inspiró más de una treintena de composiciones líricas a partir del libreto de Metastasio de 1737: Tetis, madre de Aquiles, disfraza a su hijo de mujer para ocultarlo en la corte del rey Licomedes e impedir así su participación en la guerra de Troya (¿qué podría fallar?). Sin embargo, el plan comienza a hacer aguas cuando Aquiles, incapaz de doblegar su virilidad, se enamora de la princesa Deidamia.

Francesco Corselli es un nombre funda-mental de la ópera española del siglo XVIII: como maestro de la Capilla Real de Madrid durante cerca de 30 años fue el principal su-ministrador de óperas de la corte española, algunas de ellas bajo la dirección artística del célebre castrato Farinelli. Estrenada en 1744 en el Real Coliseo del Buen Retiro de Madrid, Achille in Sciro se compuso para celebrar el casamiento de la infanta María Teresa Rafaela con el delfín de Francia. Su escenificación, postergada por la irrupción de la pandemia-supone un gran hito en la recuperación de nuestro patrimonio musical.
