Malek-adel [Italian]

By Calisto Bassi and Giovanni Pacini

"Malek-Adel, ossia I Crociati a Tolemaide" is a melodramma serio in two acts by Giovanni Pacini, with a libretto by Calisto Bassi. This historical opera, set during the Crusades, explores themes of conflict, love, and betrayal amidst the clash of cultures in Ptolemais (Acre). Pacini's score is known for its dramatic intensity and lyrical beauty, reflecting the bel canto tradition of the early 19th century. Bassi €(TM)s libretto weaves a compelling narrative around the historical backdrop, creating a powerful and moving operatic experience. This work offers valuable insights into the operatic conventions and musical styles of the period, appealing to both scholars and enthusiasts of Italian opera.
