In three acts by VERDI. Text by PIAVE from VICTOR HUGO'S drama: "Le roi s'amuse". No opera has become popular in so short a time as Rigoletto in Italy. The music is very winning and is, like all that Verdi has written, full of exquisite m... Robert Le Diable
In five acts by MEYERBEER. Text by SCRIBE and DELAVIGNE. Though the text, which embodies the well-known story of Robert the Devil, Duke of Normandy, is often weak and involved, Meyerbeer has understood in masterly fashion how to adapt his ... Romeo E Giulietta

In three acts by RICHARD WAGNER. With this opera begins a new era in the history of the German theatre. Tannhaeuser is more a drama than an opera, every expression in it is highly dramatic; the management of the orchestra too is quite differe... The Alpine King And The Misanthrope

(LO SPEZIALE.) Comic Opera by JOSEF HAYDN (1768). After a sleep of 125 years in the dust of Prince Esterhazy's archives at Eisenstadt, Dr. Hirschfeld received permission from Prince Paul Esterhazy of Galantha to copy the original manuscrip... The Armorer
DER WAFFENSCHMIED In three acts by ALBERT LORTZING. Text by himself. Though this opera does not equal in value Lortzing's "Czar and Zimmermann", it has nevertheless proved an admirable addition to the operatic repertory. It is attract... The Barber Of Bagdad
In two acts by PETER CORNELIUS. It took a long time, before this charming little Opera took its place amongst so many fellow operas much less entitled to notice. The composer had died 15 years previously, without having gained the success h... The Beauties Of Fogaras
