'''Domenico Annibali''' was a castrato with a decades-long successful international career. He was most active in Dresden where he performed many works of [[Johann Adolph Hasse]]. He also premiered works by Porpora and was later a member of Georg Friedrich Händel's opera company at the Royal Opera. <ref name="Wikipedia"/>

"Domenico" is also the name of a castrato who, according to the score, sang the role of Timante in [[Demofoonte (Antonio Caldara)|Antonio Caldara's ''Demofoonte'']] in 1733. However, there are two different manuscripts at the Austrian National Library:
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''.

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. However, further research is required.

The cast of Caldara's L'olimpiade as listed in score #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.[2] It seems most likely that "Domenico" refers to neither of the above. Further research is required.

Note on the disambiguation

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). [3][4]
