Loreley: A Romantic Opera In Three Acts is a book written by Carlo D'Ormeville and first published in 1907. The book is a libretto for an opera and tells the story of Loreley, a beautiful siren who lures sailors to their deaths with her enchanting voice. The story is set on the Rhine River in Germany and follows the love triangle between Loreley, the Count of Rudolstadt, and Walter, a young fisherman. The Count is engaged to a wealthy woman but falls in love with Loreley after hearing her sing. Walter also falls in love with Loreley but is heartbroken when he realizes she is in love with the Count. The story culminates in a tragic ending as Loreley sacrifices herself to save the Count from drowning in the river. The book is filled with romantic themes, beautiful music, and dramatic scenes, making it a classic piece of opera literature.Music By Alfredo Catalani.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
