Domenico Annibali

In Dresden he was heard in the world premieres of two operas by Johann Adolph Hasse: Cleofide (1731, Alessandro) and Attilio Regolo (1750, title role).

He also sang in Hasse's Cajo Fabricio (1734), Tito Vespasiano, Demetrio, Lucio Papirio, Arminio, Semiramide, Demofoonte, and Adriano in Siria.

On 18 July 1747, he sang the title role in Porpora's Filandro in a performance honoring the birthday of Princess Maria Antonia Walpurgis of Bavaria.

[2] While committed to the Dresden opera house, Annibali was granted leave to perform as a guest artist at many other theatres internationally.

He also sang in the premieres of Handel's cantata Always a bearer of glory, the pasticcio Didone abbandonata, and in the revised version of Il trionfo del tempo; and in revivals of Partenope, Alexander's Feast, and Esther (in Italian).
