Video of Opera sourced from the National Theater of Prague's 2011 performance of Scarlatti's opera Dove è amore è gelosia. I would highly suggest purchasing the entire Blu-ray or DVD of this historically accurate performance, which was performed at the historic castle theater in Czesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic.
