Opera of the Nobility

The Opera of the Nobility was an opera company set up and funded in 1733 by a group of nobles opposed to George II of Great Britain, in order to rival the Royal Academy of Music company under Handel. Nicola Porpora was invited to be its musical director and Owen Swiny considered as its talent scout.
