Alahor in Granata

"Alahor in Granata" is an opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti to an anonymous Italian libretto (indicated only with the initials "M.A.") after Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian's text "Gonzalve de Cordoue , ou Granade reconquise" (1793). It premiered on January 7, 1826 at the Teatro Carolino, Palermo with critical and popular success . The score was eventually lost, and then discovered in the late 1900s. The first contemporary production was in Seville, 1998 (available on DVD).
