An unpublished and unrecorded opera.Lovreglio was a composer, conductor, and musicologist. Born in Naples, grandson of the flautist and composer Donato Lovreglio (1841-1907), he died in Nice. Lovreglio played the violin at La Scala under Toscanini from 1917-1919, at which time he emigrated to France, teaching at the Collège Parc Impérial in Nice from 1940-1945; among his students was the Armenian composer Levon Arami Astvatsatrian (born 1922). He wrote two operas, three ballets, stage music, two masses, and symphonic and chamber music. The present work is not included in Lovreglio's works list in Wikipedia. There is a center named for him in Celano, the Centro Europeo di Studi Musicali "Eleuterio Lovreglio."
