"Attila" was his next great triumph; and then followed in rapid succession a large number of operas, among them: "I Masnadieri" , written for the English stage, with Jenny Lind, Lablache, and Gardoni in the cast; "Luisa Miller" ; "Stifellio" ; "Rigoletto" ; "Il Trovatore," Rome ; "La Traviata," Venice ; "I Vespri Siciliani," Paris ; "Simon Boccanegra," Venice ; "Un Ballo in Maschera," Rome ; "La Forza del Destino," St.
"Then I beg you, Lord Count, to step aside. Let us pause here, under the trees, until they have passed. I am full of fears. Perhaps I am a coward, but I mislike these roving night-hands. It may be a company of masnadieri." "What then?" returned the Count, without slackening speed. "What cause have we to fear a party of robbers?"
After 'Macbeth' came another series of works which are now forgotten. Among them was 'I Masnadieri, which was written for Her Majesty's Theatre in 1847. Although the principal part was sung by Jenny Lind, the work was a complete failure, and was pronounced by the critic Chorley to be the worst opera ever produced in England.
In 1847, we find Verdi in London, where on July 2, at Her Majesty's Theater, "I Masnadieri" was brought out, with a cast including Lablanche, Gardoni, Colletti, and above all Jenny Lind, in a part composed expressly for her. All the artists distinguished themselves; Jenny Lind acted admirably and sang her airs exquisitely, but the opera was not a success.
The last created such a genuine enthusiasm that he was crowned with a golden aurel-wreath and escorted home from the theatre by an enormous crowd. "I Masnadieri" was written for Jenny Lind, and performed first in London in 1847 with that great singer, Gardoni, and Lablache, in the cast.
During the season she appeared in "Robert le Diable," "Sonnambula," "Lucia" "La Figlia del Reggimento," and "Norma," as well as in a new opera by Verdi, "I Masnadieri," which even Jenny Lind's genius and popularity could not keep on the surface.
