Carlo Francesco Pollarolo (ca. 1653 – 1723) was an
Italian composer, chiefly of operas. Born into a
musical family, he became the cathedral organist of his
home town of Brescia. In the 1680s he began composing
operas for performance in nearby Venice. He wrote a
total of 85 of them as well as 13 oratorios. His
operatic style is noted for its development of arias
accompanied by the orchestra and it shows some
influence from the contemporary French opera of
Jean-Baptiste Lully.
