Francesco Manelli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francesco Manelli (b. 13 September 1594 - d. July, 1667) was a Roman baroque composer, particularly of opera; and theorbo player. He is most well known for his collaboration with fellow Roman composer Benedetto Ferrari in bringing commercial opera to Venice. The first two works, in 1637 and 1638, to be put on commercially in the Teatro San Cassiano were both by Manelli - his L'Andromeda and La Maga Fulminata.
