''Maria de Rudenz'' is a ''dramma tragico'', or tragic opera, in three parts by Gaetano Donizetti. The Italian libretto was written by Salvadore Cammarano, based on "a piece of Gothic horror",〔Osborne 1994, pp. 262-263〕 ''La nonne sanglante'' by Anicet-Bourgeois and de Mallian, and ''The Monk'' by Matthew Gregory Lewis. It premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, on 30 January 1838. ==Performance history== 19th century While the initial performances were not very successful (Donizetti regarded them as "a fiasco"),〔Weinstock 1963, pp. 354-355〕 the opera was withdrawn after two performances.〔 It was given 14 performances in Rome in 1841 but, again, it was received with little enthusiasm.〔 Finally, an "excellent production and superior singing this time won vigorous approval"〔 in a production in Rome in 1841, and this was followed by one in Naples in 1848 at the Teatro Nuovo and three years later for a production at the Teatro San Carlo. 20th century and beyond Today, the opera is very rarely staged. It did not receive a production in the UK until the Opera Rara concert presentation in London on 27 October 1974.〔Ashbrook and Hibberd, p. 239〕 The first staged presentations in the 20th century took place at La Fenice beginning on 21 December 1980 with Katia Ricciarelli in the title role.〔 Both have been recorded. It will be performed at the 2016 Wexford Opera Festival 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maria de Rudenz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
