The Maid of Orleans
Donizetti's "Maria Stuarda" is based on "Mary Stuart"; Rossini's "Guillaume Tell" is an adaptation of "William Tell". Nicola Vaccai's "Giovanna d'Arco" (1827) is based on "The Maid of Orleans", and his "La sposa di Messina" (1839) on "The Bride of Messina". Tchaikovsky's 1881 opera "The Maid of Orleans" is partly based on Schiller's work. German-Russian composer Zinaida Petrovna Ziberova created a musical setting for Schiler's "William Tell" in 1935. The 20th-century composer Giselher Klebe adapted "The Robbers" for his first opera of the same name, which premiered in 1957.
