About Margherita Salicola

Margarita Salicola was a famous opera singer of her time. She came from a family of musicians at the court of the Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and became a staple of casts at San Giovanni Grisostomo, Venice's newest and most famous theater, in the 1680s. The earliest work with which she can be linked is Pietro Simone Agostini's Il ratto delle Sabine. She was especially praised for her appearance in the title role of Carlo Pallavicino's Penelope la casta in the winter of 1685. The Saxon elector Johann Georg III, in whose court Pallavicino already served, was so thrilled by her performance that he became intent to taking her and two castrati from the same cast into this service. After a staged "kidnapping," Salicola was escorted en route to Dresden by a Mantuan agent.
