Wagenseil's Prometeo assoluto is a serenata which was composed to inform that Princess Isabella of Hapsburg was safely delivered of a baby girl, and it is also his last stage work. It was performed in March of 1762, 7 months before the Gluck's reform opera Orfeo. This work was composed according to the tradition of serenata, a kind of theatricals, and the music is largely the alternation of recitatives and da capo arias. In many respects, however, it shows progressive designs, e.g. the whole work in coherence, the simple form of aria based on the tonal structure, and the instrumentation. Therefore Wagenseil was also ambitious as a theatrical composer among the conservative court composers in Vienna.
