Amadigi di Gaula is one of Handel's London operas, premiered at the King's Theatre on May 25, 1715. Authorship of the libretto is uncertain, but credit perhaps belongs to Nicola Haym, the librettist for Teseo, and at whose home Handel was living at the time of composition. Whoever the librettist may have been, he clearly adapted Amadigi from the Amadis de Grèce by the French author Antoine de Lamotte.

Amadigi brought out from Handel some of his finest work, and the opera was a tremendous success—well loved by British audiences. It was one of the operas given in the season immediately following King George I's accession to the English throne—fitting, since he had previously been Handel's employer in Hanover (George I was the son of Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover). The season also included a revival of Rinaldo.
