• Grove Music Online: (The Neapolitan Orontea (score in I-Nc) bears no musical relationship to that of Antonio Cesti (see Osthoff, Stalnaker, and Walker 1984), which was supposed for a long time to have been set and performed in Venice in 1649. It now seems clear that Cesti’s Orontea originated in Innsbruck in 1656, whereas the original Venetian setting, now lost, may have been by Lucio, the composer of another opera performed at Naples in 1654, Gli amori d’Alessandro Magno (see Walker 1972 and 1984). Thus it is impossible to ascertain whether the Neapolitan Orontea contains any music from the Venetian Orontea or was entirely reset by Cirillo.)
