Venue: Teatrino di Corte di Palazzo Reale, Naples

This was the first performance in modern times of Giovanni Paisiello’s Zenobia in Palmira and was enjoyed at the Teatro di Corte (Court Theatre) in the Royal Palace. 

A musically convincing production of Niccolò Jommelli's L'isola disabitata, but with too many pretentious stage ideas.

A Neapolitan farce which was successful in all Italian theatres, fun and frantic.
