Notes & Reviews:

George Frideric Handel's 'Admeto' is considered one of the most successful operas produced in the first half of the 18th century. Along with 'Radamisto', 'Giulio Cesare', 'Tamerlano', 'Rodelinda' and 'Alessandro', which were also written in this period, 'Admeto' belongs to Handel's so-called "London operas" - works he composed for the Royal Academy of Music. Though born in Halle, Germany, Handel spent most of his adult life in London and became a British subject in 1727.
