Dorilla in Tempe is a heroic pastoral melodrama or opera in three acts by composer Antonio Vivaldi with an Italian libretto by Antonio Maria Lucchini. The opera premiered at the Teatro San Angelo in Venice on 9 November 1726.

Dorilla in Tempe is another Vivaldi opera which deserves to be better known. It is the 33rd opera out of the fifty or so the Venetian composer wrote and it is described as a 'melodramma eroica pastorale' in three acts, which gives potential listeners a clue as to what they should expect. It was first performed at the Teatro S. Angelo in Venice in 1726 when Vivaldi was at the height of his career. The composer had then 25 year operatic experience behind him. So, Dorilla in Tempe can be considered as being one of his mature opera in the same league as Griselda, a better known opera also composed around that time. It is interesting to note that on 14 December 1725, the Amsterdam Gazette announced the publication of his opus 8, il cimento dell' armonia e dell' invenzione' which contains the famous Four Seasons. It is therefore no coincidence to find that the first movement of the Spring concerto appears quoted at length and used to good effect in the first act of the opera when a chorus of shepherds sings in praise of the spring (Dell'aura al sussurrar). One should not be surprised by the fact that Vivaldi re used part of this composition since for their new works, it was common practice among baroque composers to borrow, quote or recycle scores they (or other composers!) had already written. For instance, JS Bach used movements from his 1st and 3rd Brandenburg concertos for his BWV 52, 207 and 174 cantatas while Handel often reworked and recycled 'bodyparts'from previous operas to create new music. Nothing went to waste in this musical recycling process! (Germain Tonelle)
