Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die besonderen Umstände der Entstehungsgeschichte der "Cleofide" von Johann Adolph Hasse als Auftragskomposition für den Dresdner Hof. Neben dem Vergleich des metastasianischen Originaltextes mit der Bearbeitung für die Dresdner Oper wird besonders die Gestaltung der Titelpartie untersucht, bei der Hasse meisterhaft das Profil und Können seiner Frau zur Geltung brachte. Darüberhinaus findet eine umfassende Beleuchtung der historischen Rahmenbedingungen, des Aufbaus und Arbeitsweise der Dresdner Hofmusik und der Lebensumstände der Musiker unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Primadonnenkultes statt.

singer musical composer teacher of music
Johann Adolph Hasse was born at Bergedorf near Hamburg, on the 25th of March 1699.
He received his first musical education from his father.
Being possessed of a fine tenor voice, he chose the theatrical career, and joined the operatic troupe conducted by Reinhard Keiser, in whose orchestra Handel had played the second violin some years before.
Hasse's success led to an engagement at the court theatre of Brunswick, and it was thfere that, in 1723, he made his debut as a composer with the opera Anligonus.
The two artists soon afterwards went to Dresden, in compliance with a brilliant offer made to them by the splendour-loving elector of Saxony, Augustus II.
There Hasse remained for two years, after which he again journeyed to Italy, and also in 1733 to London, in which latter city he was tempted by the aristocratic clique inimical to Handel to become the rival and antagonist of that great master.
But this he modestly and wisely declined, remaining in London only long enough to superintend the rehearsals for his opera Artaserse (first produced at Venice, 1730).
But Hasse was still too young to rest on his laurels.
In 1739, after the death of Augustus II, Hasse settled permanently at Dresden till 1763, when he and his wife retired from court service with considerable pensions.
His last work for the stage was the opera Ruggiero (1771), written for the wedding of Archduke Ferdinand at Milan.
On the same occasion a work by Mozart, then fourteen years old, was performed, and Hasse observed " this youngster will surpass us all. "
His compositions include as many as 120 operas, besides oratorios, cantatas, masses, and almost every variety of instrumental music.
During the siege of Dresden by the Prussians in 1760, most of his manuscripts, collected for a complete edition to be brought out at the expense of the elector, were burnt.
Some of his works, amongst them an opera Alcide al Bivio (1760), have been published, and the libraries of Vienna and Dresden possess the autographs of others.
In dramatic fire also he was wanting, but he had a fund of gentle and genuine melody, and by this fact his enormous popularity during his life must be accounted for.
By desire of his wife Hasse settled at her birthplace Venice, and there he died on the 23rd of December 1783.

Quotes from others about the person
In one of his letters, dated to March 1744, Metastasio made the following comments:
". .. never until now had I happened to see him [Hasse] in all his glory, but always detached from his many personal relationships in such a way that he was like an aria without instruments; but now I see him as a father, husband and friend, qualities which make an admirable union in him with those solid bases of ability and good behaviour, for which I will cherish him so many years. .. "
At Venice, where he went in 1727, he became acquainted with the celebrated singer Faustina Bordogni (born at Venice in 1700), who became the composer's wife in 1730.
Most probably it shortly preceded that of her husband.
