'Cimarosa’s reputation in his last years, and during the early part of the 19th century, was unparalleled in Italian opera until Rossini. His facility at writing music resulted in the creation of almost 60 stage works, most of which were comic pieces. His operas were performed on all the major European stages, including Prague, Copenhagen, Stockholm, St Petersburg, Hamburg, London and Berlin. Although Cimarosa revised some of his earlier compositions to suit the Neapolitan tastes his music had a broad, international appeal: some of his operas were still being played in Naples as late as 1811' (see Johnson & Lazarevich, ‘Cimarosa, Domenico’. Grove Music Online, 2001).
La ballerina amante was first performed in Naples in 1782; the libretto was published the following year, but the orchestral score did not make it into print. The opera was often performed in a reduced two-act version: the present manuscript includes a long Finale at the end of Act II followed by a short third act.
