Gioacchino Cocchi

Gioacchino Cocchi (circa 1712 – 11 September 1796) was a Neapolitan composer, principally of opera.

As La scaltra governatrice it was given at the Académie de Musique in Paris on 25 January 1753, and as Die Schulmeisterin was performed in 1954 at the Schlosstheater in Berlin.

From 1749 to 1757 Cocchi was in Venice, where he became maestro di cappella of the Ospedale degli Incurabili, standing in for Vincenzo Legrenzio Ciampi, who had been given permission to visit London for an extended period.

[citation needed] In 1757 he travelled to London, where he stayed until about 1772, when he returned to Venice.
