Sketches for a previously unknown opera.
Written on paper ruled with 20 staves (p. 1-12 and 21-24) and 24 staves (p. 13-20).
Text begins: Forse in ques'ora all'ombra della sera--an ensemble scene notated in black ink in short score on various systems from three to seven staves, with many deletions, alterations, and corrections.
The characters named are Renato, Fernando, and Il Dua (basses), Suor Teresa (soprano), Gilda, Maria, Elisabetta Soarez, and chorus.
Apparently the only source for the opera, a setting of Suor Teresa o Elisabetta Soarez, the plot and characters taken from a 5-act drama by Luigi Camoletti.
