2 September 1726 Calandro is an opera buffa in three acts composed by Giovanni Alberto Ristori*1692 to a libretto by Stefano Benedetto Pallavicino.

(17 October 1696 – 5 October 1763) married to Maria Josepha 1719 source : zims-en.kiwix.campusafrica.gos.orange.com/wikipedia_en_all_nopic/A/Augustus_III_of_Poland) , King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1734 until 1763, as well as Elector of Saxony in the Holy Roman Empire from 1733 until 1763 where he was known as Frederick Augustus II
Comment: So, at the time, and in view of wikipedia's mistake on original text, Maria Josepha, already married was either divorced to mary emperor Charles VI as above or it's all a matter of Handel's /Voltaire's etc traditional intrusion, as Charles VI, in royal affairs. Further investigation needed!!!
