Description: Bizet spent 1857 to 1860 in Italy as winner of the Prix de Rome. Looking for inspiration, he found the subject for his opera buffa in a second-hand bookstall in Rome, a piece by Carlo Cambiaggio (1798–1880) "an Italian farce in the manner of Don Pasquale". Composition was sporadic over the winter of 1858–59; Bizet confessed that he was still trying to find his voice, although he intentionally aimed at an Italian style for this piece. Don Procopio is a two-act opera buffa with an Italian libretto completed in 1859, and only first performed in 1906.
