One, two, a thousand Olimpies

Category :
Date:

Olimpie (the spelling with ‘i’ instead of ‘y’ is attested by all the librettos, all the posters, all the musical sources published in Spontini’s lifetime, and even the autograph manuscript) is of all Spontini’s works probably the one that had the most tormented genesis: the composer continued to make significant corrections and changes with almost every production over some twenty years.
