Ryom, ©2007 (RV 709. Dorilla in Tempe, "melodramma eroico pastorale" in drei Akten; text: Antonio Maria Lucchini; 709-D, unknown performance, score preserved in I-Tn, Foà 39, Bl. 142-295; includes arias by various composers)
Grove music online, November 7, 2018 (Dorilla in Tempe; melodramma eroico pastorale in three acts, RV 709; libretto by Antonio Maria Lucchini; first version, Venice, Teatro S Angelo, 9 November 1726; revived with an almost identical text at the small Teatro S Margherita, Venice, in 1728 and again at the Sporck Theatre, Prague, in spring 1732, this time with substantial alterations to the libretto; in 1734 Vivaldi converted the work into a pasticcio using recent music by other composers, including Hasse, Giacomelli and Leo; the surviving score in Turin appears to be adapted with various insertions and deletions for the 1734 performance)

Dorilla in Tempe, ℗2018: label (Dorilla in Tempe) container (RV 709; melodramma eroico-pastorale; libretto by Antonio Maria Lucchini; Teatro Sant'Angelo, Venezia, 1734) booklet (first version, 1726; later revised by Vivaldi in 1728, 1732, and 1734; the last, a pasticcio preserved in Turin, is the only surviving version; of the 21 arias in the 1734 score, 3 are by Hasse, 1 by Domenico Sarri, 1 by Leonardo Leo, and 3 by Giacomelli)
Talbot, Michael. The Vivaldi compendium, ©2011: page 69 (Dorilla in Tempe, RV 709; version RV 709-A was given at the Teatro Sant'Angelo, in autumn 1726; RV 709-B, arranged for (or by) Antonio Denzio, in Prague, in spring 1732; RV 709-C, Vivaldi's revival at Sant'Angelo in carnival 1734; RV 709-D, the related but not identical version preserved in the score in Turin, which was prepared either for a projected but unrealized production or for a production of which no record is known; RV 709-D is almost describable as a pasticcio opera, since it contains individual arias by fashionable composers of the 1730s, including Leo, Hasse, and Giacomelli)
Cross, Eric. The late operas of Antonio Vivaldi, 1727-1738, ©1981: volume 1, page 50-51 (Dorilla in Tempe; pasticcio performed at the Teatro S. Angelo in Carnival 1734; score based on the original version of 1726 with the addition of many new foreign arias; composers of 5 of these borrowed arias have been identified, a further 5 are undoubtedly not by Vivaldi, and in addition, the authenticity of a few other arias is doubtful)
