 The Metropolitan Opera's première of this opera began on 16 February 2015 with a similar cast to La Scala, but a new production, including DiDonato as Elena and Juan Diego Flórez as Uberto.The opera is best considered as a transitional work between baroque and classical forms and romanticism.It was the first and also the last but one "en travesti" opera he would write for Naples, the last one being Maometto secondo.
