Andrea Marcon conducts Handel's Parnasso in festa
Not an opera, but rather a festa teatrale or serenata, Parnasso in festa, per gli sponsali di Teti e Peleo (Festivities on Parnassus in Honour of the Nuptials of Thetis and Peleus) was written to celebrate the wedding of George II’s daughter Princess Anne to the Dutch Prince William IV. It was initially performed at the Haymarket Theatre the night before their wedding on March 13 1734.
