The Opera of the Nobility was an opera company set up and funded in 1733 by a group of nobles under Frederick, Prince of Wales opposed to George II of England , in order to rival the Second Royal Academy of Music company under Handel backed by George II and his queen . Nicola Porpora was invited to be its musical director and Owen Swiny considered as its talent scout. The company had Senesino who had fallen out with Handel as its lead singer and was based at a theatre at Lincoln s Inn Fields under John Rich producer John Rich which had become available on Rich s opening of the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden . The company was not a success in its initial 1733 34 season. Though Farinelli joined it late in the season and thus made it financially solvent, he was unable to prevent its eventual bankruptcy. At the end of its initial season it took over the Her Majesty s Theatre King s Theatre from Handel. The company went bankrupt and was dissolved in 1737 shortly after appointing Giovanni Battista Pescetti its musical director , but not before it had poached some of Handel s best singers such as Francesca Cuzzoni and Antonio Montagnana and forced his company into bankruptcy too.
