Approved

Poliuto , by Gaetano Donizetti, was never performed in Italy except posthumously due to the Bourbon censorship. Scheduled in 1838 at the San Carlo in Naples, it was in fact canceled because it dealt with a sacred theme in a place considered profane such as the theater. Revised and corrected, it made its debut at the Paris Opera in the French version, with the title Les Martyrs (1840). A few months after Donizetti's death, the opera was finally performed in Italian at the San Carlo, ten years later than expected, achieving good success. It had never been represented in Sassari before 2010. In this edition, in addition to Paoletta Marrocu, there is another Sardinian, Piero Pretti, who makes his debut in the second replica.

Poliuto, di Gaetano Donizetti, non fu mai rappresentata in Italia se non postuma a causa della censura borbonica. In calendario nel 1838 al San Carlo di Napoli, venne infatti cancellata perché trattava una tematica sacra in un luogo considerato profano come il teatro. Riveduta e corretta, debuttò all'Opéra di Parigi in versione francese, con il titolo Les Martyrs (1840). Pochi mesi dopo la morte di Donizetti l'opera fu finalmente eseguita in italiano al San Carlo, dieci anni dopo il previsto, ottenendo un buon successo. A Sassari non era mai stata rappresentata prima del 2010. In questa edizione, oltre a Paoletta Marrocu c'è un altro sardo, Piero Pretti, che esordisce nella seconda replica.
