Porpora Manuscript - Polifemo

[nvh89]

Hello everyone,

I apologise if this subject belongs in a different sub-forum or if the information that I need is already posted somewhere - I am new to these boards and, if so, I did not find it.

I am looking for the score for Porpora's opera 'Polifemo'. It is not to be found on IMSLP, but worse yet, I was unable to find any information online as to where the manuscript is kept or whom to contact regarding this. I would kindly appreciate any information that could help.

Thank you all in advance!

Sincerely,
Sreten Manojlovic

Try http://www.worldcat.org/ Besides the modern editions there is a result at British Library, but British Library is not BNF for online scores

Thank you both kindly for your replies! I'll see if I can somehow get hold of the copy in London.

Hello nvh89,
did you finally find Porpora's Polifemo manuscript? I am desperately looking for a screenshot of its page(s) containing bb. 19-23 from the aria "Alto Giove": perhaps could you help me? I would be really grateful for this.
Thank you so much.
Yours,
D.

The manuscript is online in a pdf somewhere. Just google it and you should find it.
