La serva padrona
In 1858 Mademoiselle Piccolomini took part both in the first experimental winter season of Her Majesty's Theatre and in the ordinary one, revisiting some of her repertoire roles and presenting for the first time in London "La zingara", a highly successful Italian version of Balfe's "The Bohemian Girl" (with all recitatives set to music), and Verdi's "Luisa Miller", which was not however so warmly welcome. She also debuted the roles of Amina in "La sonnambula" by Vincenzo Bellini and Serpina in "La serva padrona" by Giovanni Paisiello.
