For a period of time (1787-1791) he served as chamber composer to Catherine II of Russia and composed two operas for production in St. Petersburg in addition to a quantity of instrumental and vocal wo rks. He also succeeded Salieri as Kapell­ meister at the Austrian court under Leopold II. It was while he was in the service of Leopold that he composed The Secret Marriage (II M atrirnonio segreto), his only opera to maintain a place in the active operatic repertory. This lively example of Italian buffo was very successful from the first performance at the Burg Theater in Vienna, February 7, 1792.
