Zenobia is a dramma per musica by Pietro Metastasio with music by Luca Antonio Predieri. This edition commemorates the birthday of Empress Elisabeth Christina. The libretto, presented in Italian, showcases Metastasio's mastery of dramatic verse and Predieri's skill in operatic composition. "Zenobia" offers a glimpse into the theatrical and musical tastes of the 18th-century Habsburg court, reflecting the era's passion for Italian opera and its role in courtly celebrations.
