14Anfossi, Pasquale, prolific Italian opera composer; b. Taggia, near Naples, April 25, 1727; d. Rome, Feb., 1797. Originally a violinist, he studied composition under Piccinni, and brought out two unsuccessful operas, but with his third opera, L'incognita perseguittata (Rome, 1773) won popular approval. This opera was written on the same subject as Piccinni's previously staged opera and Anfossi had a greater success, backed by a powerful clique hostile to Piccinni. Anfossi then proceeded to bring out opera after opera. He wrote 76, which were successful in Rome for a time; later he sought new fields: in Paris (1779), London (1781-83, as director of the Italian Opera); then in Prague, Dresden and Berlin. Returning to Italy in 1784 he was appointed maestro di cappella at the Lateran in 1791, and turned his attention to sacred composition (12 oratorios, masses, psalms, etc.). Mozart wrote two arias for use in Anfossi's opera Il curioso indiscreto (Vienna, 1783) and for Le Gelosie fortunate (Vienna, 1788).
