About the opera Fosca
Fosca is an opera seria in four acts by Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Gomes to an Italian language libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni based on Luigi Capranica's 1869 novel La festa delle Marie.
The opera was premiered at La Scala, Milan on February 16, 1873. It was a failure because of a dispute between lovers of bel canto and supporters of Wagnerian music-drama. Gomes revised it in 1877, and the premiere of the new version (this time described as a melodramma) on February 7, 1878, also at La Scala, was a success.
