I martiri’ (‘The martyrs’), lyric tragedy in four acts; libretto for the opera by Donizetti. Printed. Italian, with English translation, by Manfredo Maggioni. Licence sent 14 April 1852 for performance at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden. Donizetti originally composed the opera in Italian as Poliuto, in 1838, using a three-act libretto by Salvatore Cammarano based on the French play Polyeucte by Corneille, but the opera was banned in Italy because of its religious content. The librettist Eugene Scribe then rewrote the libretto in a grander, four-act version in French as Les martyrs, and Donizetti entirely revised the music to conform to the French text, French operatic forms, and the needs of the Paris Opera, where the revised work was performed in 1839. The French version was then translated back into Italian. Names of actors and orchestra listed with dramatis personae. LCO Day Book Add. 53703 records the stipulation that a number of phrases be omitted. Keywords: Rome, classical civilization, Christians and Christianity, Italian influence.
