ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote from Wikipedia:
Il ballo delle ingrate ( SV 167) is a semi-dramatic ballet written by the Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini . It was performed for the first time in Mantua on Wednesday 4 June 1608 within the festivities for the wedding of Francesco Gonzaga (son of Monteverdi’s protector Vincenzo duke of Mantua ) and Margherita of Savoy . Both Vincenzo and Francesco Gonzaga took part in the dances. For the occasion Monteverdi also composed the opera L’Arianna (again on a libretto by Rinuccini) and the music for the prologue of Battista Guarini ‘s comedy L’idropica . Il ballo delle ingrate or Mascherata delle Ingrate was performed for the first time in Mantua on Wednesday 4 June 1608 as part of the wedding celebrations of Francesco Gonzaga and Margherita di Savoia .
