[Federico · Rating 2 out of 5]

È abbastanza chiaro che Metastasio stesse semplicemente cercando di ingraziarsi Carlo VI.
I personaggi sono piuttosto piatti e non interessanti, così come la trama.

[Recensioni in tre parole · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nobile. Maestosa. Seria.

[Giovanni Brazzale · Rating 3 out of 5]

Opera alquanto interessante, che doveva fungere come sorta di "guida pedagogica" per Carlo VI d'Asburgo. Da leggere più come testimonianza di un'autore importante e del genere letterario del melodramma, che per la sua bellezza intrinseca, a dire il vero non eccelsa.
