Angela "La Giorgina" Voglia (fl. 1671 – fl. 1714) was an Italian opera soprano. She was engaged by Christina, Queen of Sweden in Rome. In 1671 Christina founded the first public theatre in Rome, Teatro Tordinona, and employed several female stage artists despite the ban on women performing on stage in the city of Rome. Angela Voglia performed at the concerts arranged by Christina in her private court. She was involved in a number of scandals concerning her love affairs and was reputed to be a courtesan, but she was protected against the Papal authorities by the royal patronage of Christina. In 1686, the Pope reinforced the ban on women stage performers because of the scandal of the love affair between the Duke of Mantova and Angela Voglia. After the death of Christina in 1689, she continued as a concert singer, performing in the private homes of the noble families of Rome, were the ban of women performers did not apply. She became the lover and singer of the Spanish ambassador, Luis Francisco de la Cerda, 9th Duke of Medinaceli. When Medinaceli was appointed Viceroy of Naples in 1696, she accompanied him there. She performed at the concerts of the vice regal court in Naples, but her position as the mistress of the Viceroy caused a scandal. She was referred to as the "Second Vicereine" or La seconda illustrissima viceregina and blamed for having a bad influence upon the affairs of state. In 1701, she accompanied Medinaceli to Spain. She was imprisoned in 1711 but released in 1714.

Pietro Alessandro Gaspare Scarlatti (2 May 1660 – 22 October 1725) was an Italian Baroque composer, known especially for his operas and chamber cantatas. He is considered the most important representative of the Neapolitan school of opera. Nicknamed by his contemporaries "the Italian Orpheus", he divided his career between Naples and Rome; a significant part of his works was composed for the papal city. He is often considered the founder of the Neapolitan school, although he has only been its most illustrious representative: his contribution, his originality and his influence were essential, as well as lasting, both in Italy and in Europe. Particularly known for his operas, he brought the Italian dramatic tradition to its maximum development, begun by Monteverdi at the beginning of 17th century and continued by Cesti, Cavalli, Carissimi, Legrenzi and Stradella, designing the final form of the Da capo aria, imitated throughout Europe. He was also the inventor of the Italian overture in three movements (which was of the highest importance in the development of the symphony), of the four-part sonata (progenitor of the modern string quartet), and of the technique of motivic development. He was a model for the musical theater of his time, as evoked by Händel's Italian works, deeply influenced by his theatrical music. Eclectic, Scarlatti also worked on all the other common genres of his time, from the sonata to the concerto grosso, from the motet to the mass, from the oratorio to the cantata, the latter being a genre in which he was an undisputed master. He was the father of two other composers, Domenico Scarlatti and Pietro Filippo Scarlatti.
