 The second of Vivaldi's known operas, "Orlando finto pazzo" premiered in November 1714 (dedication 10 November) at the Teatro Sant'Angelo in Venice.Vivaldi acted as impresario (in partnership with his father Giovanni Battista) as well as composer.Apparently the opera did not meet much approval from the audience and was billed only on few dates, just to be replaced, on 1 December, by a reworking of Giovanni Alberto Ristori’s "Orlando furioso" (), an opera that the Vivaldi ""impresa"" had very successfully staged in 1713.
