Adelina
Music by Pietro Generali · libretto by Gaetano Rossi · premiered 1810 · at Teatro San Moisè
Adelina is an opera farsa (described as a ‘melodramma sentimentale’) in one act, by the Italian composer Pietro Generali with words by Gaetano Rossi. It was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè in Venice on either 15 or 16 September 1810. It premiered just before the first of Rossini's farse at the same theatre. For the inspiration for his libretto Rossi turned to Lisbeth, a drame lyrique with words by Edmond de Favières, set by André Grétry and first performed in 1797 at the Salle Favart in Paris. The libretto is permeated by the ideals of Rousseau and the French Revolution.
