However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died less than a year later in poverty.Īfter his death, Vivaldi's music slid into obscurity until a vigorous revival in the 20th century. After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for preferment. Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna. Many of his compositions were written for the female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietí , a home for abandoned children where Vivaldi (who had been ordained as a Catholic priest) was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740. His best-known work is a series of violin concertosknown as The Four Seasons.

He is known mainly for composing many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than forty operas. Born in Venice, he is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his influence during his lifetime was widespread across Europe.

Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric.
