Le faucon (opera) Le faucon (English: The Falcon , Russian: Сокол ) is an "opéra comique" in three acts by the Ukrainian composer Dmitry Bortniansky with a French language libretto by Franz-Hermann Lafermière. It was first performed on 11 October 1786 at the Gatchina Palace in Russia by aristocratic amateur singers. The plot is borrowed from Boccaccio's "The Decameron" (Fifth Day, 9th tale) which also served as the basis for Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny's 1771 comic opera "Le faucon" (libretto by Michel-Jean Sedaine) (and later for Gounod's "La colombe").
