Do both Simon Boccanegra and Le roi d'Ys have the same number of acts?
Le roi d'Ys Le roi d'Ys ("The King of Ys") is an opera in three acts and five tableaux by the French composer Édouard Lalo, to a libretto by Édouard Blau, based on the old Breton legend of the drowned city of Ys. That city was, according to the legend, the capital of the kingdom of Cornouaille.
The Barber of Seville (play) The Barber of Seville or the Useless Precaution (French: "Le Barbier de Séville ou la Précaution inutile" ) is a French play by Pierre Beaumarchais, with original music by Antoine-Laurent Baudron. It was initially conceived as a comic opera, and was rejected as such in 1772 by the Comédie-Italienne. The play as it is now known was written in 1773, but, due to legal and political problems of the author, it was not performed until February 23, 1775, at the Comédie-Française in the Tuileries. It is the first play in a trilogy of which the other constituents are "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Guilty Mother".
