	CAVALLI Statira, Principessa di Persia [RH]: Classical CD Reviews- March 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Cavalli’s ‘Statira, Principessa di Persia’ was first performed in Venice in 1656 to a libretto by Busannello, who had provided the libretti for Cavalli’s ‘Gli Amori di Apollo e di Dafne’ and ‘Didone’.
		The principal comic element in the opera comes from the play that is made on the fact that Elissena is sung by a man; this especially when Eurillo pretends to woo her.
		Of course, all ends happily with Statira married to Cloridaspe, Floralba (revealed to be Cloridaspe’s sister) married to Usimano.
