November 1844 CE

Giuseppe Verdi, after his success with Ernani, had received a commission from Rome's Teatro Argentina and he had gone to work with Francesco Maria Piave in considering two subjects, one of which had eventually become this I due Foscari, set to an Italian libretto by Piave, based on a historical play, The Two Foscari by Lord Byron.

Given its premiere performance in Rome on November 3, 1844, the opera is generally quite successful, although not on the scale of Ernani, which will remain Verdi's most popular opera until Il trovatore in 1853.
