Lo schiavo
Lo schiavo (O escravo in Portuguese, The Slave in English) is an opera in four acts by the Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Gomes. The Italian libretto was by Rodolfo Paravicini (1828–1900), after a 1876 play, Les Danicheff, by Alexandre Dumas fils and the travel experiences of Alfredo Taunay. The opera deals with the subject of slavery, a major concern in Brazil at the time (the institution had only been abolished by the Lei Áurea in 1888).
