===Opera===
During his time in Vienna, Salieri acquired great prestige as a composer and conductor, particularly of opera, but also of [[chamber music|chamber]] and [[sacred music]]. Among the most successful of his 37 operas staged during his lifetime were ''[[Armida (Salieri)|Armida]]'' (1771), ''[[La fiera di Venezia]]'' (1772), ''[[La scuola de' gelosi]]'' (1778), ''[[Der Rauchfangkehrer]]'' (1781), ''[[Les Danaïdes]]'' (1784), which was first presented as a work of [[Christoph Willibald Gluck|Gluck's]], ''[[La grotta di Trofonio]]'' (1785), ''[[Tarare (opera)|Tarare]]'' (1787) (''Tarare'' was reworked and revised several times as was ''Les Danaïdes''), ''[[Axur, re d'Ormus]]'' (1788), ''[[La cifra]]'' (1789), ''[[Palmira, regina di Persia]]'' (1795), ''Il mondo alla rovescia'' (1795), ''[[Falstaff (Salieri)|Falstaff]]'' (1799), and ''Cesare in Farmacusa'' (1800).
