High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! La favorite ('The Favorite', sometimes referred to by its Italian title: 'La favorita') is an opera in four acts by Gaetano Donizetti to a French-language libretto by Alphonse Royer and Gustave Vaez, based on the play Le comte de Comminges by Baculard d'Arnaud. It premiered on 2 December 1840 at the Theatre de l'Academie Royale de Musique in Paris, France. La favorite incorporated a great deal of L'ange de Nisida, an unrealized project from 1839. It was revived in Padua under the title of Leonora di Guzman in 1842, and at La Scala as Elda in 1843. Though Donizetti himself was not involved in these productions, the opera is now more commonly given in Italian rather than French. Donizetti wrote the entire final act in three to four hours, with the exception of the Cavatina and a part of a duet, which were added at the rehearsal stage.
