Verdi's early production includes an opera, Un gior no di regno, that had a particularly unlucky fate. After the success of his first opera, Oberto, conte di San Bonifacio, Verdi was given by the impresario Bartolomeo Merelli the task of composing a comic opera for the Teatro alla Scala; but this work coincided with the death of his wife, which took place shortly after the dea
th of his two sons.
The levity of the subject-matter of this opera was inevitably incompatible with Verdi's grief. His opera was a complete fiasco at the premiere of 5 September 1840, in Milan, and was withdrawn that very evening.
Five years after its first night, after Verdi had met with a real triumph with Nabucco, Un giorno di regno was quite successful in Venice at the Teatro San Benedetto. As a matter of fact, to present-day listeners, this opera is far from being as disastrous as it has been considered for many years.
