However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died, impoverished, less than a year later. Vivaldi also had a measure of success staging his operas in Venice, Matua, and Viena. After meeting Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for royal patronage. Many of Vivaldi's compositions were written for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a convent, orphanage, and music school he worked and was employed there as a priest for many years.

His vast output included substantial quantities of chamber and vocal music, some 46 operas and a remarkable 500 concertos.

About fifty melodramas documented between 17, two per year on average for twenty-seven years nineteen scores preserved.
