Jonathan Sutherland (26 February 2018), "Alessandro Stradella: cloaks, daggers and musical genius", bachtrack website: "De Carlo’s most recent endeavour in 2017 was Stradella’s last opera, La Doriclea, featuring soprano Emöke Barath accompanied by Joyce diDonato’s favourite baroque ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro instead of the director’s usual Mare Nostrum musicians. The plot is more amusing than sainted nuns or reformed prostitutes and a number of fast patter buffo arias anticipate the rhythm and wit of Rossini. The character of Giraldo is a direct forebear of Mozart’s Leporello over one hundred years later."
Brian Robins, Review of the recording conducted by Andrea de Carlo, Opera, May 2019, p. 628: "The detailed booklet note allows me to correct the date of composition and performance to Rome in the early 1670s rather than 1681, as I formerly suggested. ... The libretto [is] considered to be almost certainly the work of the Roman nobleman and man of letters Flavio Orsini."
Andrea Garavaglia (2019). "Stradella, Alessandro, Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, vol. 94 (2019): "Al 1672 dovrebbe risalire la sua prima opera, La Doriclea, la cui copiatura risulta pagata nel dicembre di quell'anno dal principe Flavio Orsini, che ne aveva steso il libretto (una partitura dell'opera, già segnalata nel 1938, è di recente ritornata in luce). [His first opera, La Doriclea, probably dates back to 1672, the copying of which was paid in December of that year by Prince Flavio Orsini, who had written the libretto (a score of the work, already reported in 1938, has recently come to light).]"
