L'inganno felice
Music by Gioachino Rossini · libretto by Giuseppe Maria Foppa · premiered 1812 · at Teatro San Moisè
L'inganno felice (The Fortunate Deception) is an opera in one act by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Giuseppe Maria Foppa. Rossini called his opera a farsa, although as Richard Osborne explains: "Its designation as a farsa is misleading in the light of its semiseria status as a romantic melodrama with buffo elements." The work has much in common with French Revolutionary operas such as Cherubini's Les deux journées. It was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè, Venice on 8 January 1812 and was an instant success.
