Il ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria - Amare
Il ritorno d’Ulisse is based on the story told in books 13-23 of Homer’s Odyssey, in which Ulysses returns home from the Trojan War after an absence of twenty years and slays his wife’s suitors, who have taken over his palace. Giacomo Badoardo’s libretto set to music by Monteverdi was premiered to great acclaim in 1640 during the carnival season in Venice, and because of its success, it was revived in the following season, an unusual distinction for an opera of the time.
