The first known position occupied by Carlo Pallavicino was that of organist of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, in 1665. The following year, the Teatro San Moisè in Venice staged his first opera, Demetrio, Aureliano e Il tiranno humiliato . He was called to Dresden, in the service of the elector Jean-Georges II of Saxony in 1672 as choirmaster. His opera Le amazzoni nell'isole fortunate was created on the occasion of the inauguration of the private theater of the Procurator of Saint Mark Contarini which was opened in Piazzola sul Brenta, near his Palladian villa and where the composer was subsequently hired. The booklet tells that defeated on the Thermodon, the Amazons retreated to settle on the Fortunate Islands. King Sultan took it into his head to reign over them. He lands his captain Anapiet on their shore, under the assumed name of Numidio, corsair. Pulcheria princess of the Amazons, falls in love with the corsair who stays on her land. He thus succeeded in arousing her confidences and penetrating her intentions. The music and staging of Amazzoni nell'Isole fortunate, which took place during the months usually devoted to vacationing in the Venetian countryside, was acclaimed as one of the most successful in the Republic of Venice in the second half of the 17th century.
