About the opera La Donna del lago
La donna del lago (The Lady of the Lake) is an opera by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola, based on The Lady of the Lake, a poem by Sir Walter Scott.
This opera was the first to be based on Scott's romantic works. By 1840, barely 20 years after La donna del lago, there were 25 Italian operas based on works by Scott (the most famous being Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor), and by others in German, French and English).
