La sposa fedele was first performed at the
Teatro San Moisè in
Venice on 26 December 1766, though it is possible that it was given first in
Cremona in 1765. Other productions followed in Italy and elsewhere in Europe (including
London at the
King's Theatre on 31 October 1775) as
La Rosinella, ossia La sposa fedele,
La fedeltà in amore,
La sposa costante, and
La costanza di Rosinella. In
Germany it was given as
Robert und Kalliste, oder der Triumph der Treue. A German vocal score was published in 1777 in
Berlin and
Leipzig. ==Roles==
