List of operas by Vivaldi

List of operas by Vivaldi

This is a complete list of the operas of Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741).

Vivaldi claimed to have composed 94 operas. In fact, fewer than 50 titles have been identified, of which the scores of 20 or so operas survive, wholly or in part. Moreover, the practice of reviving works under a different title and of creating "pasticci" has confused musicologists.

All Vivaldi's works are dramma per musica, an early form of opera seria.
