The score includes not only the many insertions into the opera but also a number of the deletions from earlier productions. The only surviving score of Dorilla in Tempe, located in Turin, is from this 1734 pastiche production.

During Carnival 1734 the opera was revived at the Teatro San Angelo, this time as a pasticcio using recent music by other composers, including Hasse, Giacomelli and Leo. In 1728 the opera was revived at the small Teatro San Margherita in Venice with an almost identical text, and again in Prague at the Sporck Theatre in the spring of 1732, this time with substantial alterations to the libretto. The opera was also noted for its visual aspects, boasting some of the most elaborate sets (by Antonio Mauro) in the history of opera up to that point and for its beautiful choreography by Giovanni Galletto. The opera was the first work by Vivaldi to include in its cast the mezzo-soprano Anna Girò, who went on to form a lifelong friendship and professional partnership with the composer. Vivaldi later revised the opera numerous times for several different performances throughout the second half of his career.ĭorilla in Tempe was well received at its premiere and became one of Vivaldi's personal favorites. The opera premiered at the Teatro San Angelo in Venice on 9 November 1726. Dorilla in Tempe is a melodramma eroico pastorale or opera in three acts by composer Antonio Vivaldi with an Italian libretto by Antonio Maria Lucchini.
