Flora mirabilis

''Flora mirabilis'' ("The Wondrous Flower") is an opera in three acts composed by Spyros Samaras to an Italian-language libretto by Ferdinando Fontana. Described in the libretto as a ''Legenda'' ("Legend"), the opera is an allegorical fairy tale set in medieval Sweden. It premiered at the Teatro Carcano in Milan on 16 May 1886 and was performed again the following year at La Scala. ''Flora mirabilis'' was Samara's first opera to be performed outside his native Greece and proved to be his greatest success, playing in multiple opera houses in Italy and abroad.〔Gara, Eugenio (ed.) (1958). ''Carteggi pucciniani'', p. 52. Ricordi.〕
==Background ==

A 20th-century description of ''Flora mirabilis'' in Gelli's ''Dizionario dell'Opera'' points out that despite having a Greek composer trained in France and a story set in medieval Sweden, the opera adhered quite strictly to the characteristic elements of late 19th-century Italian opera—folkloric dances, large choruses, and lengthy orchestral passages used to set both the geographical and the psychological atmosphere.〔
''Flora mirabilis'' was Samaras's first collaboration with the Italian librettist Ferdinando Fontana who became a lifelong admirer of his music and went on to provide the libretti for Samaras's operas ''Medgè'' (1888) and ''Lionella'' (1891). George Leotsakos and other authors have compared the musical idiom and proto-verismo displayed in ''Flora'' to that of Puccini whose first two operas, ''Le Villi'' and ''Edgar'', also had libretti by Fontana.〔〔Samson, James (2013). (''Music in the Balkans'' ), p. 243. Brill. ISBN 9004250387〕 Like ''Flora'', ''Le Villi'' and ''Edgar'' were based on northern European medieval legends, a particular passion of Fontana's.〔Girardi, Michele (2002). (''Puccini: His International Art'' ). p. 21. University of Chicago Press. ISBN 0226297586〕
