Hasse's Olimpiade premiered in Dresden as the last opera seria before the beginning of that fateful Seven Years' War - with great success, as usual and as deserved. At the same time, it is the last opera festival in the last courtly carnival of the of the last glorious Polish-Saxon carnival. It can claim to be one of the most successful among the many acknowledged good works of its two creators.
