Otello and Lucrezia Borgia are both plays, true or false?
Lucrezia Borgia (opera) Lucrezia Borgia is a melodramatic opera in a prologue and two acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Felice Romani wrote the Italian libretto after the play "Lucrezia Borgia" by Victor Hugo, in its turn after the legend of Lucrezia Borgia. "Lucrezia Borgia" was first performed on 26 December 1833 at La Scala, Milan.
Loreley (opera) Loreley is an opera ("azione romantica") in three acts composed by Alfredo Catalani to a libretto by Angelo Zanardini, Carlo D'Ormeville and others. It premiered on 16 February 1890 at the Teatro Regio in Turin. Based on the German legend of the Lorelei, the opera is an extensive reworking of Catalani's four-act opera "Elda" which had premiered in Turin ten years earlier.
