Re Lear
' (''King Lear'') is an Italian operatic libretto in four acts written by Antonio Somma〔(Antonio Somma biography ) on opera.stanford.edu Retrieved 24 June 2013〕 for the Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi. It was based on ''King Lear'', "the Shakespeare play with which Verdi struggled for so many years, but without success".〔Chusid 1997, p. 3〕
The ''Re Lear'' project is widely considered illustrative of Verdi's complex and enduring fascination with Shakespeare. Verdi commissioned the libretto first from Salvadore Cammarano, who died in June 1852 before he could complete it. Then, three years later, while working with Antonio Somma on what was eventually to became ''Un ballo in maschera'', he proposed that Somma read ''King Lear'' and he re-read the play himself, then sought Somma's reactions. Their extensive correspondence has been preserved; it thoroughly documents Verdi's oversight and detailed supervision, the result being two completed and still extant versions of the libretto prepared by Somma in 1853 and 1855.〔Carrara Verdi, G. (ed.) 2002, ''Per il 'Re Lear' ''〕
However, while the idea of ''Re Lear'' remained with Verdi into the 1890s, no music for the opera was ever composed.
