Sigismondo

Sigismondo is a melodramma serio in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Giuseppe Foppa. First performed in Venice at the Teatro La Fenice in 1814, the opera tells a story of mistaken identity, political intrigue, and eventual reconciliation, set against a backdrop of medieval conflicts.

This edition presents the original Italian libretto, offering readers the opportunity to engage with Rossini's work in its original language. It provides valuable insights into the dramatic structure and lyrical beauty of the opera, appealing to both scholars and enthusiasts of Italian opera and Rossini's significant contributions to the genre.
