Gianni di Parigi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gianni di Parigi is a melodramma or opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti (1839) from a libretto by Felice Romani, which had been previously used by Francesco Morlacchi (1818) for an opera of the same name. It is derived from Jean de Paris, an opera by François-Adrien Boïeldieu (1812) with a libretto by Claude Godard d’Aucourt de Saint-Just.
It was first performed on 10 September 1839 at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan.
