Rita (opera)
''Rita, ou Le mari battu'' (''Rita, or The Beaten Husband'') is an opéra comique in one act, composed by Gaetano Donizetti to a French libretto by Gustave Vaëz. The opera, a domestic comedy consisting of eight musical numbers connected by spoken dialogue, was completed in 1841 under its original title ''Deux hommes et une femme'' (''Two Men and a Woman''). Never performed in Donizetti's lifetime, ''Rita'' premiered posthumously at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 7 May 1860.
==Composition history==
In 1841, while Donizetti was in Paris waiting for the libretto to be completed for a commission by La Scala, he had a chance encounter with Gustave Vaëz, who had co-written the libretti for two of his earlier operas, ''Lucie de Lammermoor'' (the French version of ''Lucia di Lammermoor'') and ''La favorite''. He asked Vaëz if he could provide a libretto for a short opera to keep him busy while waiting for the La Scala project to advance. Vaëz quickly created ''Deux hommes et une femme'' (''Two Men and a Woman''), a comic piece in one act consisting of eight musical numbers connected by spoken dialogue. According to Vaëz, Donizetti completed the score in eight days.〔Weinstock 1963, pp. 168-169; Osborne 1994, p. 281〕 However, the Opéra-Comique rejected it and Donizetti then had the libretto translated into Italian for an intended performance at the Teatro del Fondo in Naples. Following the death of the Teatro del Fondo's impresario, Domenico Barbaja, the Naples performance fell through. The score, still unperformed, was found in Donizetti's effects when he died in 1848.
