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”
