Are Il trovatore and Alcina both operas?
Il trovatore Il trovatore (] ; Italian for "The Troubadour") is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto largely written by Salvadore Cammarano, based on the play "El trovador" (1836) by Antonio García Gutiérrez. It was Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar Julian Budden describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyantly defiant of the Aristotelian unities, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident."
La Cleopatra La Cleopatra (1789) is an opera seria in two acts by composer Domenico Cimarosa with an Italian libretto by F. Moretti.
