Giuseppe Verdi's opera I Lombardi alla prima…

February 1843 CE

Giuseppe Verdi's opera I Lombardi alla prima crociata (The Lombards on the First Crusade) premieres at La Scala in Milan on February 11, 1843.

Verdi dedicates the score to Maria Luigia, the Habsburg Duchess of Parma, who will die a few weeks after the premiere.

An operatic dramma lirico in four acts to an Italian libretto by Temistocle Solera, based on an epic poem by Tommaso Grossi, the opera will be significantly revised to become Verdi's first grand opera for performances in France at the Salle Le Peletier of the Paris Opera under the title of Jérusalem.
