Doria
Music by Étienne Méhul
Doria, ou La tyrannie détruite (Doria, or Tyranny Destroyed) is an opera in three acts by the French composer Étienne Méhul. It is in the form of an opéra comique (that is, with spoken dialogue between the musical numbers), although the authors style it an opéra héroïque. It premiered at the Opéra-Comique, Paris on 12 March 1795. The libretto is by Gabriel-Marie Legouvé and Charles-Joseph Lœuillard Davrigny. The work was not a success, in spite of revisions after the premiere.
