v · d · e

Creso is an opera seria in 3 acts by Antonio Sacchini, set to a libretto by Gioacchino Pizzi. The opera was first performed at Naples on the 4th of November, 1765. The libretto was a popular one that had been first set by Niccolò Jommelli.

Creso was the most widely performed of Sacchini's opera serias, and much of the music displays the transition that the aria form of opera seria was undergoing. The standard aria dal segno form is interlaced with examples of abbreviated rondo form (ABAB) and through-composed ternary arias. Some of the music suggests themes from the works of the widely influential Tommaso Traetta.
