High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Amadigi di Gaula is a magical opera in three acts, with music by George Frideric Handel. It was the fifth Italian opera that Handel wrote for London and was composed during his stay at Burlington House in 1715. The most intimate of Handel's operas, written for a small cast, is based on Amadis de Grece, a French tragedie-lyrique by Andre Cardinal Destouches and Antoine Houdar de la Motte. The opera, one of Handel's most concise stage works, received its first performance in London at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket on 25 May 1715. Handel made prominent use of wind instruments, so the score is unusually colorful, and at points resembles the Water Music, which he composed only a few years later. An exceptional care was lavished to the production. The opera was a success because of the visual side and received a known minimum of 17 further performances in London through 1717.
