Alessandro Scarlatti, Toglietemi la vita ancor

Post by steltz »

Clarification needed, please. . . .

Can someone with better knowledge of Scarlatti's works please confirm whether this is an arie antiche independent of an opera, or whether it is the well-known "Toglietemi" from Il Pompeo?

If it's from Il Pompeo, it probably should be in a page for that opera?

Also, since the librettist on the IMSLP page is blank, one internet source I found says the text for the aria is anonymous, but another says the libretto for the opera was by Nicolo Minato. (Neither source is what would be considered 100% sound academically . . . . .)
