Il castello di Kenilworth
- Il castello di Kenilworth
"Il castello di Kenilworth" (or "Elisabetta al castello di Kenilworth") is a "melodramma serio" or tragic opera in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Andrea Leone Tottola wrote the Italian libretto after Victor Hugo's play "Amy Robsart" (1828) and Eugene Scribe's play "Leicester", in its turn after Scott's novel "Kenilworth" (1821). Daniel Auber composed another opera on the same subject, "Leicester, ou Le château de Kenilworth" (1823).
This opera represents Donizetti's first excursion into an aspect of English history and especially with the character of Elizabeth I, whose life he was to explore further in his operas "Roberto Devereux" and "Maria Stuarda". It received its first performance on the 6 July 1829 at the Teatro San Carlo, Naples.
