 Handel enjoyed a particularly warm and close relationship with Anne, Princess Royal, eldest daughter of George II, who supported his opera seasons, was an accomplished musician herself, and to whom Handel even gave private lessons - although he did not enjoy teaching, he made an exception in her case.The evening before the wedding, the princess, the rest of the royal family and all their court attended the first performance of a full length operatic entertainment,"Parnasso in Festa", specially composed by Handel for the occasion at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket where he was presenting his seasons of Italian operas, and with the same star opera singers who were appearing in his current successful opera.
