Radamisto (Handel) Radamisto (HWV 12) is an opera seria in three acts by George Frideric Handel to an Italian libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym, based on "L'amor tirannico, o Zenobia" by Domenico Lalli and "Zenobia" by Matteo Noris. It was Handel's first opera for the Royal Academy of Music. The opera's plot is loosely based on incidents from Tacitus's "Annals of Imperial Rome".
