	Handel's <i>Atalanta</i> opened at Covent Garden on 12 May 1736. It followed on the heels of a revival the week before of <i>Ariodante</i> in which the Italian castrato Gioacchino Conti (detto Ghiziello) was now featured in the title role. Conti's appearance generated such praise that he was soon ranked as superior to Carlo Broschi (detto Farinelli). Conti voice was celebrated for its agility and the singer's control over pitch.

	The original text of <i>Atalanta</i>, by Belisario Valeriani, was entitled <i>La caccia in Etolia</i>, which was originally set by Fortunato Chelleri (Ferrara, 1715). It formed the basis of revivals and new settings given in Modena (1716), Ravenna (1726), Florence (1727), and Vienna (1733). The music comes from Handel's autograph in the British Library, with some modifications from pertinent materials in the Manchester Public Library.
