Regarding Caldara's ''Demofoonte'', there are two different manuscripts at the Austrian National Library: | |||
# Mus.Hs.17168/2 , Mus.Hs.17168/1-3 , Mus.Hs.17168/1 | |||

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 sang 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.<ref name="Annibali"/> It seems most likely that "Domenico" refers to neither of the above. Further research is required. | 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 sang Caldara.

The singer who sang in the 1717 premiere of Antonio Caldara's ''[[Santa Ferma]]'' in Vienna, 1717 is most likely not coincidential with the Domenico who sang in Caldara's ''Demofoonte''. | |||
The former sang the role of the Angel (''Angelo''). <ref name="IMSLP"/><ref name="Caldara"/> | |||
