Are I Lombardi alla prima crociata and Giasone both operas?
I Lombardi alla prima crociata I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata ("The Lombards on the First Crusade") is an operatic "dramma lirico" in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Temistocle Solera, based on an epic poem by Tommaso Grossi, which was "very much a child of its age; a grand historical novel with a patriotic slant". Its first performance was given at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on 11 February 1843. Verdi dedicated the score to Maria Luigia, the Habsburg Duchess of Parma, who died a few weeks after the premiere.
Vincenzo Galli Vincenzo Galli (1798 – 1858) was an Italian opera singer and impresario. Considered an outstanding "basso buffo" singer, he created many roles on Italian stages, including ones in two of Donizetti's operas: Ivano in "Otto mesi in due ore" and Cesare Salzapariglia in "Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali". Luigi Ricci composed the role of Michelotto in his opera "Chiara di Rosembergh" specifically for Galli's voice.
