Although Verdi began sketching the music for "Il Corsaro" in 1846,
a lengthy illness forced him to postpone further work. He finally
completed the score in early 1848, but the revolutions of that year
delayed its first performance. When it was finally premiered on 25
October at the Teatro Grande of Trieste, Verdi was in Paris and did
not participate as usual in the production, which was poorly
received. Though more successful in subsequent stagings, "Il
Corsaro" was soon eclipsed by the operas of the noted "trilogy" and
fell from the repertory. The full score of "Il Corsaro", as well as
recent revivals based on pre-publication proofs of this critical
edition, reveal the work to be far more rewarding than even Verdi
himself would later admit. Showing the gradual consolidation of
Verdi's mature style through his contacts with French opera, it
amply repays the renewed attention it is receiving.
