Program Notes
Handel helped establish the Royal Academy of Music in 1719, an opera company devoted to the production of new works in London and unconnected to the still-operating music conservatory with the same name founded in 1822. His opera Scipione, with libretto by Paolo Antonio Rolli, was his eighth full-length opera for the fledgling institution. The opera initially ran for only thirteen performances after its première on March 12, 1726. Originally written in haste, Handel extensively revised the opera for a November 1730 revival.
The opera is set during the Roman capture of the Spanish port Cartagena in 209 B.C., centering on the young general Scipio’s magnanimity toward of Berenice, a beautiful female captive. The story of Scipio and Berenice provided the plot for this opera, but also inspiration for other seventeenth- and eighteenth-century painters and at least two other opera librettists.
The aria Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves occurs in the second scene of Act 2 and is sung by Berenice.
