It had so much to offer with its light, but pleasing and amusing plot, its abundance of strong melodies as well as a fine creative team, who successfully combined to bring the work to life. The other two operas to be performed at the festival are Johann Mattheson's Boris Goudenow and Telemann's Pastorelle en Musique."]
