Stiffelio (premiered November 16, 1850, in Trieste, Italy) is a three-act opera with music by the one, the only Giuseppe Verdi and libretto by his frequent collaborator Francesco Maria Piave (better known for collaborating with Verdi on Rigoletto, which premiered less than four months after this opera, and La traviata, with which this opera shares some themes). The opera is based on an Italian translation/adaptation of the last three acts of Émile Souvestre and Eugène Bourgeois’ 1849 five-act realist play Le Pasteur, ou L’Évangile et le Foyer (The Pastor, or The Gospel and the Hearth).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Generally considered to be one of, if not the, most unjustly neglected of Verdi’s operas, the piece begins with the title character, a Protestant minister who has been away on a long work-related journey, happily returning home to his family, friends, and church community situated just outside of Salzburg, Austria. However, his joy at being home with the people he holds dear quickly dissipates as he begins to suspect that the people around him, in particular his wife Lina, are keeping a terrible secret from him. When he eventually discovers the secret—that Lina has committed adultery—he finds himself in a moral quandary testing the limits of his belief in unconditional forgiveness, particularly in the face of Lina’s continued love for him and her own extreme trauma and guilt. The ending just might surprise you.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
| Stiffelio (Theatre) / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: the Royal Opera House's 1993 production (directed by Elijah Moshinsky) changes the setting from an isolated community outside of Salzburg, Austria, to a village in an unspecified part of the American Great Plains region, as well as moving the time forward about 15-20 years from c.1850 to after the American Civil War. | |

Adaptation Sequence | |
| Stiffelio (Theatre) / int_a41fa499 | comment |
Adaptation Sequence: the libretto is adapted from an Italian translation/Bowdlerised adaptation of a French play adapted from a novel written by one of the co-playwrights. Got that? | |

Act of True Love | |
| Stiffelio (Theatre) / int_be445584 | comment |
Act of True Love: Lina tells Raffaele that if he really loved her, he would return her personal effects (intercepted letters and her wedding ring) and then leave forever. Lina and Stiffelio both attempt this in Act III, Scene 1: she by declaring her willingness to die rather than leave him; he by offering her a divorce. | |
