Matilde di Shabran, o sia Bellezza e cuor di ferro è un melodramma giocoso in due atti di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Jacopo Ferretti, rappresentato per la prima volta a Roma nel 1821. La vicenda ruota attorno a Corradino, feroce tiranno soprannominato Cuordiferro che disprezza le donne e tiene prigioniero il giovane Edoardo, a sua volta segretamente innamorato della bella Matilde. La fanciulla, nobile decaduta, giunge al castello travestita da umile giardiniera insieme al poeta vagabondo Isidoro, con il segreto disegno di ammansire l'animo spietato di Corradino. Mentre Isidoro tenta goffamente di proteggerla, la bellezza e il carattere ardito di Matilde iniziano a scalfire il cuore di ferro del tiranno, scatenando però l'invidia del perfido Aliprando, che ordisce un inganno facendo credere a Corradino che la fanciulla ami in realtà il prigioniero Edoardo.
Nel secondo atto la gelosia divampa: Corradino, accecato dal sospetto, sfida Edoardo a duello, ma Matilde si frappone con coraggio tra i due, pronta a sacrificarsi. La verità viene finalmente a galla grazie all'intervento del padre di lei, Raimondo, che ne rivela la nobile identità . Vinto dalla forza dell'amore e dall'innocenza della fanciulla, Corradino depone la sua ferocia e implora perdono. Edoardo viene liberato, Aliprando smascherato e punito, e il tiranno dal cuore di ferro sposa Matilde tra la gioia generale. Isidoro celebra il trionfo della poesia e dell'amore, mentre il coro esalta la vittoria della bellezza e della bontà sulla crudeltà .Matilde di Shabran, o sia Bellezza e cuor di ferro is a melodramma giocoso in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti, first performed in Rome in 1821. The story centres on Corradino, a ruthless tyrant nicknamed Cuordiferro (Iron Heart), who despises women and holds the young Edoardo captive; Edoardo, in turn, is secretly in love with the beautiful Matilde. The young woman, a fallen noblewoman, arrives at the castle disguised as a humble gardener, accompanied by the wandering poet Isidoro, with the secret plan of softening Corradino's ruthless heart. Whilst Isidoro clumsily attempts to protect her, Matilde's beauty and bold nature begin to chip away at the tyrant's heart of iron, though this sparks the envy of the treacherous Aliprando, who hatches a plot to make Corradino believe that the young woman is in fact in love with the prisoner Edoardo.In the second act, jealousy flares up: Corradino, blinded by suspicion, challenges Edoardo to a duel, but Matilde bravely steps between them, ready to sacrifice herself. The truth finally comes to light thanks to the intervention of her father, Raimondo, who reveals her noble identity. Overcome by the power of love and the maiden's innocence, Corradino lays aside his ferocity and begs for forgiveness. Edoardo is set free, Aliprando is unmasked and punished, and the iron-hearted tyrant marries Matilde amid general jubilation. Isidoro celebrates the triumph of poetry and love, whilst the chorus extols the victory of beauty and goodness over cruelty.
