High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Bruce is an 1846 pastiche opera in three acts, with music by Gioachino Rossini and Louis Niedermeyer to a French-language libretto by Alphonse Royer and Gustave Vaez, after Walter Scott's History of Scotland. The music was adapted by Niedermeyer, with the composer's permission, from Rossini's operas La donna del lago, Zelmira, Bianca e Falliero, Torvaldo e Dorliska and Armida. The work was premiered on December 30, 1846, at the Theatre de l'Academie Royale de Musique. After Rossini's arrival in Paris in 1843 (for medical treatment), he was visited by Leon Pillet, the Director of the Opera, who invited him to compose a new opera for the house. Rossini declined, but pointed out that La donna del lago (1819) had been neglected and would go down well with the French.
