Zoraida di Granata

Zoraida di Granata is a two-act melodramma eroico by Gaetano Donizetti. The Italian libretto, partly prepared by Bartolomeo Merelli, drew on Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian's 1791 play Gonzalve de Cordoue ou Grenade Reconquise and on Luigi Romanelli's libretto for Giuseppe Nicolini's Abenamet e Zoraide.

Synopsis
:Time: 1480 :Place: Granada, Spain. The murderous and duplicitous Almuzir wishes to marry Zoraida, the daughter of the late king, who in turn loves Abenamet, the victorious General of the Moors. To save Abenamet from the sentence of death passed on him consequent to the machinations of Almuzir, Zoraida agrees to the marriage. She survives Abenamet's doubts as to her fidelity and somewhat implausibly is allowed to marry him. ==Recordings==
