The libretto is online at:

Dorotea, the contralto in this opera about opera singers, is indeed only
in the first act, and appears to sing only in ensembles - she doesn't have
an aria of her own. Indeed, the only arias seem to be sung by the tenor
Guglielmo and the composer Biscoma (baritone). I get the impression that
it's a short opera, because it's occasionally programmed on a double bill
with Mozart's IMPRESARIO.
