"It was Handel's first comic opera, which broke away from the Opera Seria tradition. It was rejected by the Royal Academy of Music, because of its frivolous nature, with relatively few extended arias and more recitative." - Wikipedia. ARMINDO Nobil core, che ben ama fa più bella la sua fama se non pensa a mai cangiar. La costanza è un bel diletto, sia pur fermo amor nel petto mercé al fin sa ritrovar. Translation: A noble heart that fondly loves the graces of its fame improves, if not to change inclin'd: for constancy's a charm so great, that 'tis its never-failing fate the rich reward to find.
