Radamisto is an opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel to an Italian libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym, based on L'amor tirranico, o Zenobia by Domenico Lalli and Zenobia by Matteo Noris. It was Handel's first opera for the Royal Academy of Music. It was first performed at the King's Theatre, London on 27 April 1720. It was judged a success and there were 10 performances. A revised version with different singers was written for a revival on 28 December 1720. More revisions followed for a new version presented in 1721 and again for another revival in 1728. It was also given in Hamburg. The first modern performance was in Göttingen on 27 June 1927.
