Are Lucia di Lammermoor and Médée both tragic operas?
Lucia di Lammermoor Lucia di Lammermoor is a "dramma tragico" (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Salvadore Cammarano wrote the Italian-language libretto loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's historical novel "The Bride of Lammermoor".
Mirandolina Mirandolina (H. 346) is a comic opera in three acts by Bohuslav Martinů, with a libretto (in Italian) by the composer after Carlo Goldoni's 1751 comedy "La locandiera" ("The Mistress of the Inn"). Salieri had an opera ("dramma giocoso") on the same subject premiered at the Vienna Kärtnertortheater in 1773.
