Johann Adolf Hasse first made a career in Italy before he became Kapellmeister at the Saxon court in Dresden for 30 years from 1733. His opera SiroeHowever, he presented it on May 2, 1733 at the Teatro Malvezzi in Bologna. He had composed it for the most famous singers of his time: the castrati Farinelli and Caffarelli as well as the soprano Vittoria Tesi helped the opera to an immediate international success, the score reflects their brilliant singing skills. The libretto came from Hasse's friend Pietro Metastasio, Europe's leading opera poet. The text, written in 1726, was set to music by Georg Friedrich Händel in addition to von Hasse. Family confusions about lust for power, love, hate and revenge at the Persian royal court keep the audience in suspense and inspired Hasse to one of his most virtuoso compositions: King Cosroe of Persia would like to appoint his ambitious son Medarse instead of the firstborn Siroe as heir to the throne. Princess Emira, whose father was once murdered by Cosroe, lives at court disguised as a man, now she wants to kill Cosroe for her part. She is also the secret lover of Siroe, who does not want to help her with her revenge. Meanwhile the mistress tries to seduce Cosroes, Laodice, Siroe. He rejects her, the offended woman then blackens him to Cosroe - the situation seems hopeless for Siroe. Only the people finally rise in favor of the rightful Crown Prince and the confusions can be cleared up, general forgiveness leads to a new beginning with Siroe and Emira as the Persian royal couple.
