Temistocle

    0.03 sec.

Temistocle

Opera by Nicola Porpora (libretto by Apostolo Zeno), produced in Vienna on 1 October 1718. Opera by Johann Christian Bach (libretto M Verazi, after Metastasio) produced at the Hoftheater, Mannheim, on 5 November 1772. Driven away by the people of Athens, Themistocles seeks refuge in the land of his enemy, Xerxes, King of Persia. Themistocles finds his daughter Aspacia there suffering the advances of Xerxes. When Aspacia would choose suicide rather than marriage to him and when Themistocles would do likewise rather than renounce Greece, Xerxes is impressed by their virtue and makes a happy ending.
