This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
'Les vêpres siciliennes' (The Sicilian Vespers) was first performed at the Académie Impériale de Musique in Paris on June 13 1855 to great critical acclaim. However in travelling to then-conservative Italy it got Verdi intotrouble with the censors for its tale of rebellions and tyrants. The plot had to be changed and a happy ending was inserted in Naples and Palermo! This version of the libretto by Eugene Scribe is in Italian and English (thetranslation being by William Weaver).
