''Maddalena'' () is an opera in one act by the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, who also wrote the libretto based on a play by Magda Gustavovna Lieven-Orlov under the pen name Baron Lieven. That play was in turn based on Oscar Wilde's play ''A Florentine Tragedy. ==Origins== Although Prokofiev had already written four operas (the earliest being ''The Giant'' which he composed at the age of eight and was written down by the composer's mother), ''Maddalena'' is the first of his works in this genre to which he gave an opus number (op. 13). The opera was written in the summer of 1911 〔McAllister, 137〕 while Prokofiev was still a student at Saint Petersburg Conservatory and abandoned with only one of its four scenes orchestrated. The plot centres on a torrid love triangle in Venice in the fifteenth century. Prokofiev wrote in his autobiography that 'the action abounded in conflicts, love, treachery and murder' but added that 'Baron Lieven' was 'more charming in appearance than talented in dramaturgy'.〔McAllister, p. 138〕 It was to wait 70 years for its premiere.
