		Strauss's opera joins them after the murders of daughter Iphiginia (Dad did it) and father Agamemnon (Mom did the honors) just in time for son Orestes to murder mother Clytemnestra, and daughter Elektra to die of what seems to be terminal insanity.
		Borgia's character is loosely based on a real life person -- a Pope's daughter, no less -- and Donizetti's portrayal of her is hardly a flattering one.
		The opera may be small in scale, but the emotional impact of Monteverdi' s music has seldom been equalled during the four centuries of operatic history that began with this work.

		In addition, the enunciation is approximate, rage is tamed, passion is subdued and one never loses awareness that it is Dame Joan on the stage rather than the tormented but bestial Lucrezia.

		Louis G. Lobit, and Charles Cockrell, Jr., the opera was chartered by the Texas Secretary of State with a board of directors, general manager, and conductor.
		Gradually, however, the Houston opera's financial stability improved; these improvements coincided with the work of David Gockley, who was hired in 1970 as business manager and promoted in 1972 to the general director of the company.
		He has aimed to present different kinds of opera to a diversified audience, in his own words combating, "the image of opera as a medium for only the wealthy and elite." Under Gockley's direction the company has expanded its repertory to include the less familiar works ranging from the Baroque era to the twentieth century.

		His 42 operas are now finally represented by this live recording from 1979 of a comic opera written in Venice in 1766; charming and amusing, ranging from buffo bluster to lyric cantabile and making use of programmatic orchestral effects, this was Traetta's most popular opera.
		Premiered in 1777, this is Cimarosa's ninth opera, setting a libretto au courant with the tastes of the times (an extremely complicated situation involving the intertwining lives and destinies of three couples - one lowborn and comical, one middle-class and one aristocratic and the object of satirical digs).
		Giordani was a prolific and acclaimed opera composer (over 40 works) but his instrumental works were totally neglected until this enterprising resurrection of light, delicate, clear and uncomplicated works in the high Classical style with a touch of the galante among some of the movements.
