Created by Gerda Arendt ( talk). Self-nominated at 09:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Daphne (Handel); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Whether Handel was present at any time during rehearsals or performance is uncertain; he may have returned from Italy, fresh from the opening of Rodrigo in Florence, to supervise the production of Florindo and Daphne in Hamburgper Ellen Harris, but also that, according to Handel's Grove bio by Anthony Hicks,
so unusual a project would not have been attempted without the composer's presence.I don't know what happened to the DYK guideline that read
If an article contradicts an existing article, the contradiction should be resolved one way or the other before the article is approved, but I think this is exactly the situation that it was trying to prevent. The composition of the two operas (originally one opera, but split) could have happened in 1706 before or after Handel left for Italy, or in 1707 while he was there—it's yet another unknown. This article needs significant additional factual work and citations before it's ready for DYK. A very minor point (and the one that got me looking at this nomination in the first place): the image is not of the cover of the opera libretto, but of the title page (as it says in the article); if the image is to be used, (libretto title page pictured) is probably the most accurate way to describe it.
