The Opera of the Month for August is Pacini's Gli arabi nelle Gallie
It premiered in 1827 at La Scala in Milan starring Giovanni David as the protagonist Agobar (pictured). It was also the first of Pacini's operas to be performed in North America when a production was mounted in 1834 at New York's Italian Opera House.
The article needs expansion with a detailed performance history and synopsis. We also lack articles on the two lead female singers, Brigida Lorenzani (Leodato) and Stefania Favelli (Ezilda).
