Aurelio Aureli

Aurelio Aureli (Venice, before 1652 – id. after 1708) was an Italian librettist.

Little is known about Aureli's life. He began his operatic career in 1652 with L'Erginda. Until 1687, he worked as a librettist mainly in Venice, except for a brief trip to Vienna. In Venice he was a member of the Accademia degli Imperfetti and perhaps also of the Accademia degli Incogniti. From 1688 to 1694 he was, however, in the service of the Duke of Parma, during which time he wrote a dozen plays, almost all of which were subsequently set to music by the court composer Bernardo Sabadini. The last librettos were written in Venice and other cities of the Republic.

His works include over 50 libretti, including:
