Literature | Rinaldo (in Jerusalem Delivered). The Achilles of the Christian army. "He despises gold and power, but craves renown" (bk. i.). He was the son of Bertoldo and Sophia, and nephew of Guelpho, but was brought up by Matilda. At the age of fifteen he ran away and joined the Crusaders, where he was enrolled in the adventurers' squadron. Having slain Gernando, he was summoned by Godfrey to public trial, but went into voluntary exile. The pedigree of Rinaldo, of the noble house of Este, is traced from Actius on the male side and Augustus on the female to Actius VI. (bk. xvii.). Rinaldo (in Orlando Furioso). Son of the fourth Marquis d'Este, cousin of Orlando, Lord of Mount Auban or Albano, eldest son of Amon or Aymon, nephew of Charlemagne, and Bradamant's brother. He was the rival of his cousin Orlando, but Angelica detested him. He was called "Clarmont's leader," and brought an auxiliary force of English and Scotch to Charlemagne, which "Silence" conducted into Paris. Rinaldo or Renaud, one of the paladins of Charlemagne, is always painted with the characteristics of a border- valiant, ingenious, rapacious, and unscrupulous. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Rinaldo was the first opera Handel produced for London and the first Italian opera composed specifically for the London stage. It was first performed in the Haymarket Theater on 24 February 1711. It was a great sucess thanks in part to the participation of two of the leading castrati of the era, Nicolo Grimaldi ("Nicolini") and Valentino Urbani.
Like Handel's other works in the opera seria genre, Rinaldo felt into oblivion for two hundred years. However, starting in the 1970s, it has been revived regularly and has become part of the standard operatic repertoire. There are a several recordings of it, and it is regularly performed. In 1984, a production of Rinaldo was mounted with the American mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne in the title role at the Metropolitan Opera, the first Handel opera ever performed at the Met. In more recent years, the opera has been revived for the counter-tenor David Daniels, who also participated in a complete recording of it with mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli.
