Nicola (Antonio) Porpora (August 19, 1686 - March 3, 1768) was a Neapolitan composer of Baroque operas (see opera seria) and teacher of singing, whose most famous pupil was the castrato Farinelli.
After a rebuff from the court of Charles VI at Vienna in 1725, Porpora settled mostly in Venice, composing and teaching regularly in the schools of La Pietà and the Incurabili.
From this time Porpora's career was a series of misfortunes: his florid style was becoming old-fashioned, his last opera, Camilla, failed, his pension from Dresden stopped, and he became so poor that the expenses of his funeral were paid by a subscription concert.

 Nicola Porpora - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Nicola (Antonio) Porpora (August 19, 1686 - March 3, 1768) was an Italian composer of Baroque operas (see opera seria) and teacher of singing, whose most famous pupil was the castrato Farinelli.
In a long career, he followed these up by many further operas, supported as maestro di capella to aristocratic patrons, such as the commander of military forces at Naples, the prince of Hesse-Darmstadt, or to the Portuguese ambassador at Rome, for composing operas alone did not yet make a viable career.
In 1729 the anti-Handel clique invited him to London to set up an opera company as a rival to Handel's, without success, and in the 1733-1734 season, even the presence of his pupil, the great Farinelli, failed to save the dramatic company in Lincoln's Inn Fields (the "Opera of the Nobility") from bankruptcy.
