Biography Conti was born in Arpino . After studying in Naples with Domenico Gizzi , whom he would later be dubbed after, he made his debut in Rome at a young age, in Leonardo Vinci s Artaserse 1730 . His career led him throughout Europe and especially to London , where he was engaged by Georg Friedrich H ndel H ndel , with whom he would build up profitable collaboration relations. Conti performed in many of his works, such as Atalanta opera Atalanta , Giustino , Berenice opera Berenice and Arminio , as well as in a revival of Ariodante . He executed later many first performances for the best famed musicians of his time, including Niccol Jommelli Manlio , 1746 , Baldassare Galuppi Artaserse , 1751 and Johann Adolf Hasse Demetrio opera Demetrio , 1747 . After 1759 Conti left the stage and settled in Rome, where he spent the last two years of his life. Being a very sharp sopranist for his time H ndel got him to repeatedly reach up to C musical note C6 , Conti was not quite well disposed towards abuse of coloratura and he chose rather to turn to better account his fluent and smooth style of rendering and expression he has thus remained famous as a sentimental and gentle singer, but he also always kept, of course, a condition of absolute excellence at vocal virtuosity, even though not so acrobatic as, for instance, that of his contemporary and friend Farinelli . ref Caruselli, I, p. 295.

Distinguish The Mad Scene In opera, a mad scene is an enactment of insanity in an opera or play. It was a popular convention of Italy Italian and France French opera in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Mad scenes were often created as a way to offer star opera singer singer s a chance to show off their abilities, though many of them are also very dramatic. The vocal writing is often exciting and highly demanding, requiring immense skill. Most mad scenes were composed for the soprano voice, but there are examples for the baritone and the tenor . They are most popularly associated with works of the bel canto period, though examples may also be found in earlier works, such as George Frederick Handel s Orlando opera Orlando and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart s Idomeneo . Almost all mad scenes were composed for either opera seria opere serie or opera semiseria opere semiserie Gaetano Donizetti was probably the most famous exponent of the form. The convention of writing mad scenes largely died out after the bel canto era, as composer s sought to inject more realism into their operas. More recently, some composers have returned to the form for dramatic effect, most notably Benjamin Britten in the final act of Peter Grimes . Similar mad scene techniques have also appeared in ballets, such as Giselle . The modern musical theatre has also been influenced by the operatic mad scene, as evidenced in Sweeney Todd musical Sweeney Todd and Sunset Boulevard musical Sunset Boulevard .
