- I vespri siciliani (Italian pronunciation: [i ?v??spri sit?i?lja?ni]; The Sicilian Vespers) is a five-act Italian opera originally written in French for the Paris Opéra by the Italian romantic composer Giuseppe Verdi and translated into Italian shortly after its premiere in June 1855.
Under its original title, Les vêpres siciliennes, the libretto was prepared by Eugène Scribe and Charles Duveyrier from their work Le duc d'Albe, which was written in 1838 and offered to Halévy and Donizetti before Verdi agreed to set it to music in 1854.
The story is loosely based on a historical event, the Sicilian Vespers of 1282, using material drawn from the medieval Sicilian tract Lu rebellamentu di Sichilia.
After its June 1855 Paris premiere, an Italian libretto was quickly prepared using a new title because Verdi realized that it would have been impossible to place the story in Sicily. Based on Scribe's suggestions for changing the location, it became Portugal in 1640 while under Spanish control. This version was first performed at the Teatro Regio in Parma on 26 December 1855.

We want you to be happy with your purchase, below is a guide to how we rate our records. We rate both the records and the record jacket.
If the record does not live up to our grading upon receipt, please email us through EBAY before leaving a Feedback or Rating so that we may correct it for you.
General standards For Record Grading
(M) Mint Record still shrink wrapped, new copy of a record.
(NM) Near Mint Almost perfect record that has usually only been played 1-3 times, in "like new" condition, no visual defects.
(NM-/ EX+) Almost near mint, maybe a few very light marks, nearly perfect.
(VG+/ EX) Very Good Plus / Excellent Record - will show minor signs that it was played but otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surface may show light scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.
An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print & sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
