      APGRD Notes
                      Libretto: 'Andromaca. Dramma per musica da rappresentarsi in Firenze nel Teatro di Via della Pergola nel carnevale dell'anno 1743. Sotto la protezione dell'altezza reale del serenis. Francesco III' (Florence, Cosimo Maria Pieri, 1743). The libretto for this production was probably an adaptation of Antonio Salvi's libretto  'Astianatte', first set by Perti for Florence in 1701 (see Sartori ID 3265). The libretto can be linked  to Euripides via Racine's 'Andromaque': it is an adaptation of Racine's tragedy into an opera libretto; according to the operatic convention the ending is modified into a 'lieto fine' (happy ending). The composer is not named.
