At Christmas in 1718 the imperial governor of Mantua, Philip of Hesse-Darmstadt, announced his forthcoming marriage. His maestro di cappella, Antonio Vivaldi, hastily had to come up with a suitable work to mark the
celebrations. Vivaldi is said to have completed his celebratory opera Tito Manlio in only five days. Although the wedding never took place, the premiere of the opera at the Teatro Arciducale in Mantua was a success for
Vivaldi.
The plot is based on a reported incident in the history of Rome from the third century BC. The consul Titus Manlius had his own son sentenced to death and executed for refusing to obey an order during a battle against
