Karl Heinrich Graun(

)
4 editions published between 1982 and 2013 in German and held by 262 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Carl Heinrich Graun (1704-1759) wrote a total of 27 operas for the Berlin court and not least for Frederick II. In 1742 his "Cleopatra e Cesare" was performed at the opening of the "Haus Unter den Linden", and in 1755 he wrote his most impressive work - "Montezuma". The opera tells the tragic story of the last ruler of the Aztecs, who lost his power and ultimately his life to the Spanish conquistadores. The libretto, in French prose, was written by none other than the Emperor of Prussia himself - Frederick II - and translated into Italian verse by his court poet

La Calisto by
Francesco Cavalli(

21 editions published between 2002 and 2008 in 4 languages and held by 157 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"When they dusted off this archetype of Venetian opera in 1993. Rene Jacobs and Herbert Wernicke probably had no idea that their recreation was destined for worldwide acclaim. But then La Calisto (1651) still has plenty to say to today's audiences: first of all because it shows the gods as falible, indeed lustful: and secondly, because it is served here by an absolute gem of a production, and by a musical realisation that manages to be both inventive and rigorous. Constantly mingling nobility and triviality, comedy and tragedy, this Calisto juxtaposes Monteverdian declamation and new-fangled aria as effortlessly as it juggles the divine and the earthly."--Container

Caesar, in pursuit of Pompey, lands in Egypt, where Pompey's wife, Cornelia, and her son Sextus beg for reconciliation. Ptolemy greets him with the present of Pompey's head, an unwelcome gift. Cornelia is prevented from suicide by her would-be lover Curio and Sextus threatens vengeance. Cleopatra, meanwhile, plots to use Caesar in order to displace her brother Ptolemy. Achillas offers to kill Caesar and make Ptolemy king, if he may have Cornelia as a reward. Cleopatra disguises herself as one injured by Ptolemy and seeks Caesar's interest, while Cornelia and her son are taken prisoner by Ptolemy. Caesar and Cleopatra eventually come together, her identity now revealed, while Ptolemy presses his attentions on Cornelia. Caesar escapes, to avoid a planned attempt on his life. Cleopatra is taken prisoner by Ptolemy but Caesar, returning, promises to rescue both her and Cornelia, with the help of Sextus, who, in an assault on Ptolemy's palace, kills the despot. Caesar now allows Cleopatra the crown of Egypt, as queen and tributary of the Roman Empire

"As the last great Aztec ruler, Montezuma II inherited a sprawling yet fragile empire. This program studies his governance, its abrupt end at the hands of the conquistadors, and its historical meanings. Paralleling a major exhibition at the British Museum, the film features artifacts, architecture, and images that speak to Montezuma's humanity, his self-proclaimed divinity, and the cultural context in which he ruled. These include depictions from the Florentine Codex, the Templo Mayor disk depicting Coyolxauhqui, and the public works of Malinaco, Teotihuacan, and other locations. Analysis of Montezuma's face-off with Hernán Cortés reveals an agile strategist whose brutality was eclipsed only by that of the invaders."--Container
