Gasparini was an Italian Baroque composer and teacher whose works were performed throughout Italy, Germany and England.
Born in Camaiore, near Lucca, Gasparini studied in Rome with Arcangelo Corelli and Bernardo Pasquini.
His first important opera, Roderico (1694), was produced in Rome.
In 1702 he went to Venice and became one of the leading composers in the city. He was musical director of 'The Ospedale della Pietà', the convent orphanage and music school in Venice. There he employed Antonio Vivaldi as a violin master.
He wrote his opera, Amulet in 1705 loosely based on the story of Hamlet. This was first performed at Teatro San Cassiano in Venice for the carnival in 1706. It went on to be performed in Naples (Napoli) and London.
