Daphne (Handel)
Opera by Georg Friedrich Händel / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daphne or Die Verwandelte Daphne (Daphne Metamorphosed),[1] HWV 4, is an opera composed by Handel for the Oper am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg in 1706, to a libretto by Hinrich Hinsch. The opera, based on the Daphne myth, was the second part of a double opera. Both works were first performed in Hamburg in January 1708. While the music is lost, the libretto survived, and two suites were reconstructed.
