Carlo Scalzi

[1] He created roles in two world premieres at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in 1726: Sesostrate in Hasse's Miride e Damari on 13 May 1726 and Ricimero in Vinci's L'Ernelinda on 4 November 1726.

Handel changed and extended arias from some of his previous operas for Scalzi:[1] including for revivals of Ottone (November 1733, Adalberto), Sosarme (April 1734, Argone), Acis and Galatea (May 1734, Dorindo), and Il pastor fido (May 1734, Silvio).

On 13 March 1734 he sang the role of Orpheus in the premiere of Handel's masque Parnasso in festa for the wedding of Princess Anne and William IV, Prince of Orange.

He faded into relative obscurity for a time thereafter[1], retiring from the stage and giving private voice lessons to aspiring young singers in Italy and also in France.

He resided with the Wood family for the remainder of his life and retired with them to the small town of Lunenburg, Vermont, where he died peacefully in his sleep in the winter of 1793.
