Domenico was a singer (probably a castrato) who sang in the 1717 premiere of Antonio Caldara's Santa Ferma in Vienna. He sang the role of the Angel (Angelo). [1][2]
Which singer "Domenico" refers to is unclear. It is unlikely to refer to Domenico Gizzi, who is born too early and does not seem documented to ever have sung Caldara. It cannot be ruled out that it might be Domenico Annibali who sang for Caldara later. However, it does not seem to be documented that he sang for Caldara in Vienna this early. He would have been around 12 at the time of the premiere.[3] It seems most likely that "Domenico" refers to neither of the above. Further research is required.
Note on the disambiguation
"Domenico" is also the name of a castrato who, according to the score, sang the role of Timante in Antonio Caldara's Demofoonte in 1733. However, there are two different manuscripts in the Austrian National Library:
- Mus.Hs.17168/2 , Mus.Hs.17168/1-3 , Mus.Hs.17168/1
- Mus.Hs.17107/1-3 , Mus.Hs.17107/3 , Mus.Hs.17107/1
1) Lists the singer as "Domenico", 2) as "Domenicino". This and the fact that 15 years had passed since "Santa Ferma" makes it unlikely that The Domenico of Demofoonte is the same as the one of Santa Ferma.
As a working hypothesis, we assume that the Domenico who sang in Caldara's Demofoonte is Domenico Annibale. However, further research is required.
