La donna del lago è un melodramma in due atti di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Andrea Leone Tottola, rappresentato per la prima volta a Napoli nel 1819. La vicenda, liberamente ispirata al poema di Walter Scott, si svolge nella Scozia del XVI secolo sulle rive del lago Katrine. Elena, figlia del ribelle Douglas, è promessa sposa contro la sua volontà al capo delle Highlanders Rodrigo di Dhu, ma ama segretamente il giovane Malcolm Groeme. Il re Giacomo V, travestito da semplice cacciatore di nome Uberto, si perde durante una battuta di caccia e viene ospitato da Elena sulla sua barca; tra i due nasce un'immediata simpatia. Quando il re scopre di trovarsi nella casa del suo nemico e capisce che Elena è promessa a un ribelle, si ritira, ma le lascia un anello regale che le permetterà di chiedere grazia in caso di pericolo. Malcolm e Rodrigo si scontrano per gelosia, mentre i clan si preparano alla rivolta.
Nel secondo atto la battaglia vede la sconfitta dei ribelli e la morte di Rodrigo. Douglas si consegna al re per salvare la figlia, mentre Elena, usando l'anello, si reca a Stirling per implorare clemenza. Giacomo V rivela la propria identità , perdona Douglas e i ribelli, e, riconoscendo il vero amore tra Elena e Malcolm, benedice il loro matrimonio. L'opera si conclude con un grande inno alla magnanimità del re e alla pace tra le fazioni, celebrando la bontà e la riconciliazione che trionfano sulle divisioni.La donna del lago is a two-act melodrama by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola, first performed in Naples in 1819. The story, loosely based on Walter Scott's poem, is set in 16th-century Scotland on the shores of Loch Katrine. Elena, daughter of the rebel Douglas, is betrothed against her will to the chieftain of the Highlanders, Rodrigo di Dhu, but secretly loves the young Malcolm Groeme. King James V, disguised as a simple hunter named Uberto, loses his way during a hunting party and is taken in by Elena on her boat; the two take an immediate liking to one another. When the king realises he is in his enemy's home and understands that Elena is betrothed to a rebel, he takes his leave, but leaves her a royal ring that will enable her to seek mercy should she be in danger. Malcolm and Rodrigo clash out of jealousy, whilst the clans prepare for revolt.In the second act, the battle results in the defeat of the rebels and the death of Rodrigo. Douglas surrenders to the king to save his daughter, whilst Elena, using the ring, travels to Stirling to beg for clemency. James V reveals his true identity, pardons Douglas and the rebels, and, recognising the true love between Elena and Malcolm, blesses their marriage. The opera concludes with a grand hymn to the king's magnanimity and to peace between the factions, celebrating the goodness and reconciliation that triumph over divisions.
