Hintergrund / Background

In the original Roman version, prepared in great haste, a collaborator, presumably Luca Agolini, wrote the secco recitatives. He also composed three numbers: an aria for Alidoro ("Vasto teatro è il mondo"), an opening chorus for Act II, and an aria for Clorinda before the Finale ("Sventurata! me credea").

For a Roman revival in 1821 Rossini replaced Alidoro's aria with a new composition, "Là del ciel nell'arcano profondo." The chorus soon was eliminated from revivals, but Clorinda's aria remained and underwent various revisions in other productions. The critical edition provides all the music for the original version, including major variants of Clorinda's aria, and in appendices provides the Rossinian aria for Alidoro as well as Rossini's own variations for Cenerentola's final Rondo.
