Eduardo e Cristina (Italian pronunciation: [eduˈardo e kkrisˈtiːna]) is an operatic dramma in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto originally written by Giovanni Schmidt for Odoardo e Cristina (1810), an opera by Stefano Pavesi, and adapted for Rossini by Andrea Leone Tottola and Gherardo Bevilacqua-Aldobrandini.

Rossini borrowed "19 of the 26 musical numbers"[1] from his other works, including Adelaide di Borgogna, Ricciardo e Zoraide, as well as Ermione itself.

[4] Eduardo, commander of the Swedish army, brings news of peace and is greeted triumphantly by King Carlo in Stockholm.

Eventually Eduardo is freed by his friend and comrade in arms, Captain Atlei, and together they defeat a surprise attack by the Russians.

After the battle, Eduardo hands his sword to King Carlo who, touched, forgives the couple and grants them his blessing.
