Il trionfo d'Arianna. A serious opera, with dances and chorusses, as performed at the King's Theatre, in the Hay-Market. The music entirely new, by Signor Anfossi

This libretto documents the 1784 production of 'Il trionfo d'Arianna' at the King's Theatre in London. During the late 18th century, the Hay-Market was the primary venue for Italian opera in England, often serving as a cultural touchstone for the British aristocracy and the social elite. This specific edition was printed for the author, Carlo Giuseppe Lanfranchi-Rossi, at a time when the circulation of printed librettos was essential for audiences to follow the plot and nuances of Italian-language performances.

The opera featured a score by Pasquale Anfossi, a prominent Italian composer who enjoyed significant popularity across Europe during this period. The music was promoted as being entirely new for this London engagement, reflecting the theater's practice of importing fresh works from Italy to satisfy the tastes of a demanding public. The design of the volume adheres to the standard conventions of the era, prioritizing clarity and readability to facilitate the audience's engagement with the performance as it unfolded on stage.
