Pietro Antonio Domenico Trapassi, better known by his pseudonym of Pietro Metastasio (January 3, 1698 – April 12, 1782)[1] was an extremely prolific poet and librettist. His words have been set to music nearly a hundred times in some cases. Caldara, Mozart, and even Schubert composed music to Metastasio's libretti. Philippe Jaroussky recorded a variety of music based on Metastasio's words over the years.
