Verdi's Giovanna D'Arco

"Giovanna d'Arco is an operatic dramma lirico with a prologue and three acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Temistocle Solera.  The opera partly reflects the story of Joan of Arc and appears to be loosely based on the play Die Jungfrau von Orleans by Friedrich von Schiller. However, Solera denied this assertion in letters to Verdi's publisher, and claimed that the work was "an entirely original Italian drama.""
