    		I think this one should be in the unanswered question list.

    		You're right. It has been a while, and nobody has been able to venture a close guess. Well, I see no reason to hold back the answer. The answer is Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), who in the course of a remarkably long life became known more as an architecht and sculptor than for his musical gifts. The opera house in question is in Rome, but the name of the opera I still haven't been able to figure out.
