Scene from Maometto (Act 2, scene 7). Set design by Alessandro Sanquirico for the 1826 production at La Scala.

Maometto is an opera by Peter von Winter to a libretto by Felice Romani premièred in 1817 at La Scala, Milan.[1][2] Romani's libretto is unusual in that it depicts Muhammad, the founder of Islam, following the 1736 play MahometbyVoltaire, and not Mehmed the Conqueror, the Turkish sultan of the fifteenth century known from Rossini's Maometto II.[3]

In this case, Palmira and Seide, the latter a breeches role, murder their father, Zopiro, without knowing who he is. It happens as a result of Maometto and his forces besieging Mecca, of which Zopiro is the sheriff. Zopiro refuses to yield. As it transpires, Maometto is victorious; Seide and Zopiro are killed. That is an over-simplification of events, but you will appreciate the drift. Maometto was premièred in 1817 at La Scala, Milan.
