Ivanhoe: Difference between revisions

Interestingly, there have been several operatic versions: Gioachino Rossini's ''Ivanhoé'' (a pastiche which did not impress Scott, who attended a performance), Thomas Sari's ''Ivanhoé'', Bartolomeo Pisani's ''Rebecca'', A. Castagnier's ''Rébecca'', Otto Nicolai's ''Il Templario'', and Heinrich Marschner's ''Der Templer und die Jüdin''. The best known, however, is probably [[Gilbert and Sullivan|Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan]]'s rather [[Serious Business|turgidly solemn]] 1891 adaptation, which impressed [[Queen Vicky|Queen Victoria]] and ran for over 150 performances.
