Belfagor (premiere 26 April 1923) is an Italian-language opera by the composer Ottorino Respighi to a libretto by Claudio Guastalla (1880–1948) based on the comedy Belfagor of Ercole Luigi Morselli (1882–1921), itself loosely based on the novella Belfagor arcidiavolo by Niccolò Machiavelli. It was premiered in 1923 at La Scala in Milan, under the baton of Antonio Guarnieri, since Toscanini was unavailable. The cast featured Irish soprano Margaret Burke Sheridan as Candida, baritone Mariano Stabile as her lover Baldo, and tenor Francesco Merli as the titular Belfagor, a "arcidiavolo" who tries to marry a human maiden while in disguise as a nobleman, using gifts of money to her father.

  • Belfagor (premiere 26 April 1923) is an Italian-language opera by the composer Ottorino Respighi to a libretto by Claudio Guastalla (1880–1948) based on the comedy Belfagor of Ercole Luigi Morselli (1882–1921), itself loosely based on the novella Belfagor arcidiavolo by Niccolò Machiavelli. It was premiered in 1923 at La Scala in Milan, under the baton of Antonio Guarnieri, since Toscanini was unavailable. The cast featured Irish soprano Margaret Burke Sheridan as Candida, baritone Mariano Stabile as her lover Baldo, and tenor Francesco Merli as the titular Belfagor, a "arcidiavolo" who tries to marry a human maiden while in disguise as a nobleman, using gifts of money to her father. The première obtained a "full and warm" approval, with several curtain calls for the composer, but the opinion of the critics was divided, ranging from the enthusiasm of Marinetti, enchanted by the futuristic aspects of the opera, and of the music critic S. A. Lucani, to those who judged opera and libretto absolutely not enjoyable. wrote that this work looked like an attempt, not fully accomplished, to merge in a comic opera "the fabolous and the clownish, the miraculous and the sentimental" and that the comic expressivity was damaged by the absence of "assertiveness of the melodic plan and its capacity to develop rapidly".

  • Belfagor P 137 è una commedia lirica di Ottorino Respighi su libretto di Claudio Guastalla, basato sul dramma Belfagor di Ercole Luigi Morselli. L'opera venne rappresentata per la prima volta a Milano al Teatro alla Scala il 26 aprile 1923. Lo spettacolo ebbe un consenso «pieno e cordiale», con numerose chiamate per l'autore, ma i giudizi della critica furono discordi: si passò dall'entusiasmo di Marinetti (affascinato degli aspetti futuristi dell'opera) e del critico S. A. Lucani, a coloro che giudicarono l'opera e il libretto per nulla divertenti. Gaetano Cesari scrisse che il lavoro gli pareva un tentativo non del tutto riuscito di fondere nell'opera comica «il meraviglioso e il buffo, il miracoloso e il sentimentale» e che mancassero «l'incisività dell'idea melodica e la capacità di quest'idea di svolgersi rapidamente», con conseguente senso di uniformità, dannoso all'espressione comica.
