Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the treatment of the classical Greco-Roman world in the opera seria of the 18th century, whose dramatic conventions were established by the Italian poet Pietro Metastasio. It also examines the way in which characters and themes from the history, literature and mythology of Greece and Rome are dealt in the librettos of the first operas and theatrical serenades of the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
