''Matilda of Hungary'' is an opera in three acts composed by William Vincent Wallace to an English libretto by Alfred Bunn. It was first performed on 22 February 1847 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, with Emma Romer in the title role. Unlike its predecessor, Wallace's first opera, ''Maritana'', it was not a success and quickly vanished from the repertory. ==Composition== Wallace's first opera, ''Maritana'', had been produced in 1845 under the management of Alfred Bunn at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and went on to international success.〔Temperley, Nicholas. ("Wallace, Vincent" ), Grove Music Online, Oxford University Press, retrieved 12 April 2015〕 Seeking to repeat its success, Bunn wrote a libretto, evidently based on a story of his own devising, about a fictional Queen of Bohemia. The hero's name was borrowed from a 15th century king of Bohemia, George of Podiebrad, but the events depicted by Butt bear no resemblance to the historical figure's life.〔Lamb, Andrew. ("Long Way from Tipperary" ), ''Opera'', March 2012, p. 28〕 Wallace set the piece in a more ambitious musical style than he had used for ''Maritana'', aiming at the manner of grand opera.〔
