Nicola Porpora (1686-1768) was a Neopolitan composer and singing teacher. A rival of Handel he formed an opera company which performed his own compositions all over Europe. He was widely acclaimed during his lifetime both as a composer and also as a pedagogue counting Haydn among his students. Regrettably most of his compositions have largely fallen into obscurity since his death.
