Is anyone here familiar with Haydn's opera Armida (1784)? It was one of many operas that Haydn composed, mostly for Eszterhŕza. Haydn quite fancied himself as an operatic composer, and considered Armida to be one of his finest works. That is, until one evening in 1787 Mozart invited him to hear his Don Giovanni, after which Haydn realised his limitations in this field and intended to abandon operatic composition. Sepperl's operas do not have the dramatic cohesion of Mozart's operas, and they indeed lack the dramatic appeal that is required of an opera. However, Haydn's genius is more than evident in his operas and they are worthy of the great master. I own a copy of Harnoncourt's Armida. Any suggestions or comments?
