Orlando furioso occupies a central and very significant place among Vivaldi's works.
Not only does the whole score of this opera demonstrate its composer's full, creative maturity, but its outstanding features are also an extraordinary musical beauty, an attractive recitative line, and a balance thus created between the various parts of the dramatic and musical whole.
This exceptional musical achievement was no doubt partly due to the famous theme of the original story, as well as the literary and dramatic qualities of a first-rate libretto.

 Vivaldi als Vokalkomponist (Feuilleton, NZZ Online)
«Orlando furioso» (1727) markiert exakt die Mitte von Vivaldis Opernkarriere; vierzehn Jahre zuvor war sein Erstling «Ottone in villa» herausgekommen, und vierzehn Jahre später starb er, bevor er seine letzte Oper in Wien aufführen lassen konnte.
In «Orlando furioso» löst Vivaldi das konventionelle Formenschema des dramma per musica auf, indem er es gänzlich in den Dienst der psychologischen Wahrheit stellt.
Besonders deutlich wird dies in jenen Szenen, in denen Orlandos zunehmende geistige Umnachtung musikalisch evoziert wird.

 PlaybillArts: Features: Mad Orlando
Handel's Orlando (1733) is but one of the scores of operas based on the chivalric epic Orlando furioso (Mad Roland, 1532) by Ludovico Ariosto, a poet at the Italian court of Ferrara.
Fine man of letters that he is, Orlando tries to shield himself from the truth by invoking the conventions of pastoral literature, desperate to believe that "Medoro" is a pseudonym for himself.
Elsewhere in Orlando furioso, characters invite madness by imagining that their reality corresponds to what they read in books: that the flighty Angelica, for example, resembles the chaste and aloof "angelic lady" of courtly poetry.

 Orlando Furioso in Milton: Heroic flights and true heroines Comparative Literature - Find Articles
Yet the strategic placement of some oft-cited "ironic" allusions to Orlando Furioso in Milton's epics suggests that Milton was not simply interested in reminding readers of Ariosto's romance epic in order to denigrate it in favor of his own religious poem.2
What was unattempted before Ariosto was to show the prudent Orlando driven mad by love, and what Milton attempts is the first use of the epic form to make a Christian God's ways appear just to men.
And of Orlando I will also tell Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme, Of the mad frenzy that for love befell One who so wise was held in former time.

 Orlando Furioso by DUSEIGNEUR, Jehan
Although Romanticism made its appearance in painting from 1820 onwards, there was a gap of ten years before it was expressed in sculpture at the Salon of 1831 by Duseigneur's Orlando Furioso, with its bulging muscles and twisted limbs, and the Tiger and Crocodile by Barye.
These works were soon followed by Etex's Cain, executed in Rome, as a bravado gesture because he did not win the Grand Prix, and by the creations of Préault.
