La donna serpente (opera)

La donna serpente (The Snake Woman) is a 1932 opera by Alfredo Casella to a libretto by Cesare Vico Lodovici based on the fable, La donna serpente, by Carlo Gozzi.

[1] The same fable was the basis of Wagner's first opera, Die Feen.

The plot concerns a king, Altidòr, who falls in love with a fairy, Miranda.

The fairy's father curses Altidòr that if he curses Miranda, she shall turn into a snake.
