Torvaldo e Dorliska is an operatic dramma semiserio in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Cesare Sterbini, based on the novel/memoir Les Amours du chevalier de Faublas [fr] (1787–1790) by the revolutionary Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai, whose work was the source of the Lodoïska libretto set by Luigi Cherubini (1791), and Lodoiska set by Stephen Storace (1794), and Simon Mayr (1796).

The inclusion of buffo roles is the reason for its designation as a 'semiserio' work, similar to Rossini's La gazza ladra.

It remained in the repertory and appeared in several Italian cities including Venice for the next twenty five years, though it was never a great critical success.

After escaping an ambush, Torvaldo enters the castle in disguise, but his identity is inadvertently revealed by Dorliska.

Carlotta manages to steal the keys to Torvaldo's prison cell, and Dorliska embraces him again.
