About Antonio Sacchini
- Antonio Maria Gasparo Gioacchino Sacchini (14 June 1730 – 6 October 1786) was an Italian composer, best known for his operas. Sacchini was born in Florence, but raised in Naples, where he received his musical education.
- He made a name for himself as a composer of serious and comic opera in Italy before moving to London, where he produced works for the King's Theatre.
- He spent his final years in Paris, becoming embroiled in the musical dispute between the followers of the composers Gluck and Niccolò Piccinni.
- His early death in 1786 was blamed on his disappointment over the apparent failure of his opera Œdipe à Colone.
- However, when the work was revived the following year, it quickly became one of the most popular in the 18th-century French repertoire.
