The opera, often forgotten throughout the 19th century, regained popularity starting in the 1930s and was performed at the Teatro Regio in Turin and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Modern editions of this score were prepared in 1993 by Nick Rossi and Talmage Fauntleroy, and in 2006 by Simone Perugini on behalf of the Accademia Lirica Toscana "D. Cimarosa.".
