In 1762 the Conservatorio gave Sacchini permission to travel to Venice to present the operas "Alessandro Severo" (with a libretto by Apostolo Zeno) at the Teatro San Benedetto, and "Alessandro nelle Indie" (with a libretto by Metastasio) the following year at the Teatro San Salvatore. Over the next couple of years, Sacchini produced new operas for theatres across Italy: "Olimpiade" in Padua (Teatro Nuovo, 1763), "Eumene" in Florence (La Pergola, 1764), "Semiramide riconosciuta" in Rome (Teatro Argentina, 1764), and "Lucio Vero" in Naples (Teatro San Carlo, 1764). Success on an Italian-wide level encouraged Sacchini to leave his job at the Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto, as well as his temporary post in Venice, and to try his luck as an independent composer.
