Maometto II è un dramma per musica in due atti di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Cesare della Valle, rappresentato per la prima volta a Napoli nel 1820. La vicenda ruota attorno ad Anna Erisso, figlia del governatore veneziano di Negroponte, contesa tra l’amore per il giovane generale Calbo e la minaccia del sultano Maometto II, che assedia la città. Anna aveva incontrato Maometto ad Atene, travestita da uomo, e il sultano se ne era invaghito senza conoscerne la vera identità. Quando Maometto riconosce in lei la misteriosa figura del passato, le offre di salvare Negroponte in cambio delle sue nozze. Anna, fedele alla patria e a Calbo, rifiuta sdegnosamente e sposa in segreto l’amato proprio mentre le mura della città stanno per cedere.Nel secondo atto la tragedia si compie: Maometto irrompe nel tempio dove le donne si sono rifugiate e rinnova ad Anna la sua proposta, promettendole il trono. Anna finge di accettare per guadagnare tempo, ma ormai il destino della città è segnato. Davanti alla tomba della madre, ella rivela con orgoglio di essere già moglie di Calbo e, per sottrarsi alla violenza del vincitore, si trafigge con un pugnale. Mentre Anna muore tra le braccia delle compagne, Maometto resta annichilito dalla forza di una donna che ha preferito la morte alla schiavitù, e il dramma si chiude con lo sgomento generale per il gesto sublime che ha sconfitto la potenza del conquistatore.Maometto II is a musical drama in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Cesare della Valle, first performed in Naples in 1820. The story centres on Anna Erisso, daughter of the Venetian governor of Negroponte, torn between her love for the young general Calbo and the threat posed by Sultan Maometto II, who is laying siege to the city. Anna had met Maometto in Athens, disguised as a man, and the sultan had fallen in love with her without knowing her true identity. When Maometto recognises her as the mysterious figure from his past, he offers to save Negroponte in exchange for her hand in marriage. Anna, loyal to her country and to Calbo, scornfully refuses and secretly marries her beloved just as the city walls are about to fall.In the second act, the tragedy unfolds: Mehmed bursts into the temple where the women have taken refuge and renews his proposal to Anna, promising her the throne. Anna pretends to accept in order to gain time, but by now the city’s fate is sealed. Standing before her mother’s grave, she proudly reveals that she is already Calbo’s wife and, to escape the victor’s violence, stabs herself with a dagger. As Anna dies in the arms of her companions, Mohammed is utterly overwhelmed by the strength of a woman who chose death over slavery, and the drama concludes amidst general dismay at the sublime act that has defeated the conqueror’s power.
