Covent Garden opened at the end of 1732. Spoken plays constituted most of the repertory that the theater initially offered to the public. The idea of interleaving opera performances a few nights week created an opening for Handel. While <i>Ariodante</i> was taking shape, Handel composed ballet music for a revival of <i>Il pastor fido</i> and assembled the pastiche <i>Oreste</i>, both of which were performed at the theater late in 1734.

Antonio Salvi's text (then called <i>Ginevra in Scozia</i>) was originally composed in 1708 for a production (with music by Giacomo Perti) at Pratolino (Florence). It became better known through Carlo Francesco Pollarolo's setting (as <i>Ariodante</i>) for San Giovanni Grisostomo, Venice, in November 1716. It was this opera production that launched the stellar career of Faustina Bordoni, whose voice was by now celebrated throughout Europe.
