Handel, G.F - Lucio Cornelio Silla (HWV 10) (It) (Urtext).

The libretto of Handel’s shortest opera is based on Plutarch’s account of the life of the cruel Roman consul and dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla.
He was a figure who went down in history above all for his reign of terror, his libertine life-style and his unexpected abdication and withdrawal to private life. As Sulla voluntarily declined his rulership, Handel was able to provide a “lieto fine” – the happy ending typical of Baroque opera.
