Name (English): Royal Academy of Music (Unternehmen)
Short name: Royal Academy of Music
Short Description: "The Royal Academy of Music was a company founded in February 1719, during George Frideric Handel´s residence at Cannons, by a group of aristocrats to secure themselves a constant supply of baroque opera or opera seria. It is not connected to the London conservatoire with the same name, which was founded in 1822.

It commissioned large numbers of new operas from three of the leading composers in Europe: Handel, Attilio Ariosti and Giovanni Bononcini. The Academy took the legal form of a joint-stock corporation under letters patent issued by George I of Great Britain for a term of 21 years with a governor, a deputy governor and at least fifteen directors. The (first) Royal Academy lasted for only nine seasons instead of twenty-one, but both the New or Second Academy and the Opera of the Nobility seem to have operated under its Royal Charter until the expiry of the original term." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.12.2019)
