Rosinda, also known as La Rosinda, is an opera in three acts and a prologue by the Italian composer Francesco Cavalli with a libretto by Giovanni Faustini. It was first performed at the Teatro Sant 'Apollinare, Venice in 1651-02 during Carnival. It appears to have been better received than La Calisto, which was also premiered that year, and was revived in Naples and/or Florence in 1653 under the title Le magie amorose.
Its first revival in modern times was in a performing version by Jane Glover for the Oxford University Opera Club with the libretto translated into English by Anne Ridler.[1] Glover conducted the production at the Oxford Playhouse in 1973.
The opera was performed in 2008 in Germany (Potsdam and Bayreuth) with Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli in the title role.
