Book Description:
|
La Caduta (1697) is a pivotal work, bridging Scarlatti's middle and late stylistic periods. It is the first of several collaborations with librettist Silvio Stampiglia, whose characteristic intermingling of serious and comic elements is particularly effective here. In her Introduction, Williams discusses the opera itself and performance practices.
