The operatic version was composed by Handel and had its first performance in London in 1724.
The voice parts were:
Massimilio - altus (male contralto)
Furiosa - contralto
Immortale Giovanni - tenor
Rictus - bass
Cannibale and Contadino - altus and bass
Angela Splendissima - contralto
Capace, Sapenda, Daggae, Fragilia - sopranos
Fessura - bass
Nux - soprano (trousers role)
The opera was unusual as it was a rare early example of an on-stage instrumentalist - a violinist played the masked role of the “danza guerriera”

stop romanticizing mic dropping… damage to sound equipment is no joke
Modern stage microphones for concert use are actually designed specifically with mic dropping in mind. When the move started to become fairly popular amongst performers back in like the early 90’s manufacturers started making their products more durable so that sound technicians didn’t have to buy a new mic every concert. The biggest concern most sound guys have when mic dropping is concerned is actually the feedback that’s going to be coming from the mic when it hits the ground. That’s why you always see the performers hold the mic out for a second before they actually drop it, to give the dude at the soundboard time to mute!
