Attila received its first performance at La Fenice in Venice on 17 March 1846. It achieved fame in its own time with audiences in the context of the adoption of a liberal constitution by Ferdinand II; other contemporary comment praised the work as suitable for the "political education of the people", while, in contrast, others criticised the opera as "Teutonic" in nature. Benjamin Lumley, who first produced Attila in London, wrote in his autobiography that "none perhaps of Verdi's works had kindled more enthusiasm in Italy or crowned the fortunate composer with more abundant laurels than Attila."
