Mademoiselle de Belle-Isle (1905)

This opera by the great Greek composer who penned the anthem for the modern Olympic Games and who earned a significant reputation in European opera, is based on the novel of the same title by Alexandre Dumas, père. It was written in 1905 on a libretto by Paul Milliet. It premiered in Genoa and was published that same year by Sonzogno, one of the biggest rivals of the famed Ricordi publishing house. Despite the resounding success it had at the time, it is an opera that failed to make it onto contemporary stages.
