Francesca di Foix

Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRA : Francesca di Foix

Francesca di Foix is a melodramma giocoso or opera in one act by Gaetano Donizetti (1831) from a libretto by Domenico Gilardoni, based on Françoise de Foix by Jean-Nicolas Bouilly and Emmanuel Mercier-Dupaty.

It received its first performance on 30 May 1831 at the Teatro San Carlo, Naples.

Seldom performed today, the opera is chiefly known for having provided segments to other Donizetti operas, including Ugo, conte di Parigi , L'elisir d'amore and Gabriella di Vergy although a complete recording exists on the Opera Rara label.
