L'arbore di Diana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'arbore di Diana (The tree of Diana), is an opera composed in 1787 by Vicente Martín y Soler, with an original libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. Da Ponte's only other libretto not taken from an existing plot was Così fan tutte.
Its premiere on 1 October 1787 marked the wedding of Joseph II's niece, the Archduchess Maria Teresa to Prince Anton Clemens of Saxony.[1]
The work was enormously successful in its day, but Martín's operas have since fallen from the repertoire.
