Il trionfo di Clelia (The Triumph of Cloelia), Wq.
The Italian-language libretto by Pietro Metastasio is based on several semi-legendary narratives concerning the founding of the Roman Republic.
[1][2] Although rarely performed since then, it was revived in London in 2012 at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio.
Among the many subsequent settings is Josef Mysliveček's Il trionfo di Clelia which premiered in Turin in 1767.
[4] The opera's story revolves around four main characters: Porsenna, an Etruscan king who laid siege to Rome in 509 BC to restore the monarchy; Tarquinio the deposed King of Rome; Clelia, a woman of the Roman Republic held hostage by Porsenna; and Orazio, ambassador of the Roman Republic and Clelia's intended husband.
