Note: There is no reason to believe that any of the following productions cited in earlier musicological literature ever took place: Medea (Parma, 1764); Erifile (Munich, 1773); Achille in Sciro (Naples, 1775); and Merope (Naples, 1775). Furthermore, there is no reason to believe that Mysliveček contributed any music to a production of Armida that took place in Lucca in 1778.[1] The cantata Il Parnaso confuso is sometimes referred to in error as Mysliveček's first opera. Reports that it was performed in Parma in 1765 are conjectural; there is no documentation to verify its true date of composition or the venue of its first performance.
