Oreste HWV A/11 -Opera in three acts- Opera in 3 acts 韓德爾 歌劇 騎熊士版
1734年，亨德爾為他的第三部歌劇作品《奧瑞斯特》創作了小品《奧瑞斯特》，當時皇家學院及其後繼學院破產，新成立的貴族歌劇院的競爭讓亨德爾感到了威脅。因此，作曲家沒有按照當時的慣例，從自己和其他作曲家的作品中選取最受歡迎的樂章編成這部作品；相反，他在《奧雷斯特》中專門從自己的歌劇中選取了最優美的詠歎調和合奏曲。此外，他還擴充了芭蕾舞和合唱場景，他認為這將在遷入新建的考文特花園劇院後產生巨大影響"

原文簡介:
In 1734 Handel provided the pasticcio “ Oreste ” for his third operatic enterprise which, following the bankruptcy of the Royal Academy and its successor academy, felt threatened by competition from the newly-founded Opera of the Nobility. Hence, the composer did not compile the work from favourite movements from his own and other composer's pieces as was usual at that time; rather in “ Oreste ” he presented a selection of the most beautiful arias and ensembles exclusively from his own operas. In addition, he expanded the ballet and choral scenes which he thought would make a great impact after the move into the newly built Covent Garden Theatre.
As most of the singers in his Italian company had been enticed away by the competition, Handel increasingly began to engage English virtuosi. He probably even worked on the new version of the libretto himself in order to place the new stars in the limelight to the best effect.
The new vocal score is based on Volume 1 of the Supplement to Series II of the “Halle Handel” Edition edited by Bernd Baselt .
