Composed by
Verdi in 1843-44, I due
Foscari was first
performed at Teatro
Argentina, Rome, in
November 1844. In his
libretto, Piave paints
the tragic destiny of the
old doge of Venice
Francesco Foscari and his
son Jacopo in dark
colours. The vocal score
derives from the critical
edition based on Verdi's
autograph score and on
the first manuscript
exemplar corrected bythe
composer himself, thus
restoring powerful
passages that had been
excised by Roman censors.
Moreover, the Appendix
presents sketches,
fragments, discarded
excerpts, as well as an
alternative cabaletta for
Jacopo's cavatina.
Enriched by an
introduction and a
detailed critical
commentary, this vocal
score provides a unique
and in-depth research
tool for performers and
conductors, as well as
students and
scholars.
