Parisina

Parisina is a tragic opera in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti, with an Italian libretto by Felice Romani. First performed in Florence in 1833, the opera tells a dramatic story of love, betrayal, and ultimately, execution.

Set in fifteenth-century Ferrara, the opera revolves around Parisina Malatesta, her husband Duke Azzo, and Ugo, a knight whom Parisina secretly loves and who is, unbeknownst to them, Azzo's illegitimate son. The discovery of their affair leads to a series of tragic events, culminating in the execution of Parisina and Ugo.

This edition presents the complete libretto in Italian, offering readers the chance to delve into the emotional depths of Donizetti's dramatic masterpiece. Experience the passion and tragedy of 'Parisina' through Romani's evocative verse, a key element of this enduring work of Italian opera.
