Kangmin Justin Kim’s drag alter ego sang an aria by this composer, parodying Cecilia (“chay-CHEEL-ya”) Bartoli’s crazed coloratura in “Agitata da due venti.” This composer wrote an opera about emperor Anastasio’s jealousy of the title peasant that contains the signature aria of the breakdancing countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński, “Vedrò con mio diletto.” This composer of Griselda included Geminiano Giacomelli’s aria “Sposa son disprezzata” in his pasticcio Bajazet. The (*) sinfonias from this composer’s operas Il Giustino and Dorilla in Tempe feature transposed versions of the melody “pickup E, G-sharp, G-sharp, G-sharp, F-sharp, E, high B,” which he recycled for a concerto in which the violinist’s trilled Bs represent birdsong. For 10 points, what director of the Ospedale della Pietà wrote The Four Seasons? ■END■
