Based on a play written for the legendary Sarah Bernhardt, this tragic tale of sexual jealousy and hot-blooded revenge received mixed press reviews when it premiered in 1900 because of its risqué and violent subject matter. Audiences, however, adored it and it remains today among the undisputed top 10 favorites. Features texts in Italian and English. Unabridged republication of the vocal score originally published by G. Ricordi & Co., 1905.
