''Torvaldo e Dorliska'' (''Torvaldo and Dorliska'') is an operatic dramma semiserio in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini, based on ''Les amours du chevalier de Faublas'' by the revolutionary Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai, whose work was the source of the ''Lodoïska'' libretto set by Luigi Cherubini (1791), and ''Lodoiska'' set by Stephen Storace (1794), and Simon Mayr (1796). ''Torvaldo e Dorliska'' is a rescue opera with an eventual happy ending. The inclusion of buffo roles is the reason for its designation as a 'semiserio' work, similar to Rossini's ''La gazza ladra''. ==Performance history== ''Torvaldo and Dorliska'' was first performed at the Teatro Valle, Rome, on 26 December 1815. It remained in the repertory and appeared in several Italian cities including Venice for the next twenty five years, though it was never a great critical success. While there were no productions staged in London nor New York, it was staged in ten European cities in the ten years after its Rome premiere. While modern day productions are rare, it was presented in Vienna in 1987 and in Savona in 1989.〔Performance history based on Osborne, C. 1994, p. 51〕 It was given at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro as part of the 2006 season. 〔( Rossini Opera Festival production details (with production photos) )〕 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「Torvaldo e Dorliska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
