  • Handel-Librettos 1989: p. IX ("during the course of the 1725 performances, Handel may have changed th role of Nireno (male) to Nerina (female), and upgraded it from a mute part by adding two new arias in order to provide a role for the newly arrived soprano Benedetta Sorosina (see Dean/Knapp, p. 503). This alteration, however, is not recorded in any libretto")
