Domenico Annibali was a castrato with a decades-long successful international career. He was most active in Dresden where he performed many works of Johann Adolph Hasse. He also premiered works by Porpora and was later a member of Georg Friedrich Händel's opera company at the Royal Opera. [1]
Regarding Caldara's Demofoonte, there are two different manuscripts at the Austrian National Library:
- Mus.Hs.17168/2 , Mus.Hs.17168/1-3 , Mus.Hs.17168/1
- Mus.Hs.17107/1-3 , Mus.Hs.17107/3 , Mus.Hs.17107/1
1) Lists the singer as "Domenico", 2) as "Domenicino".
That this Domenico refers to Domenico Annibali is a conjecture so far, and has not yet been corroborated.
It needs to be noted that the Booklet to the Album Caldara in Vienna lists the singer in the role of Timante at the premiere of Antonio Caldara's Demofoonte as Felice Salimbeni.
Note on the disambiguation
The singer who sang in the 1717 premiere of Antonio Caldara's Santa Ferma in Vienna is likely not identical to the Domenico who sang in Caldara's Demofoonte.
The former sang the role of the Angel (Angelo). [2][3]

Caution: whether "Domenico" refers to Domenico Annibali merits further research.
