Virginia is an opera, a tragedia lirica, in three acts by composer Saverio Mercadante. The Italian libretto by Salvadore Cammarano is based on Vittorio Alfieri's tragedy of the same name. Alfieri's play was in turn taken from a story in Livy's Ab Urbe condita. Although initially written for performance in 1850 at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, the subject matter of Mercadante's opera was objected to by the Bourbon government censors and performance was banned outright. That decision was widely ridiculed, not just in Italy, but throughout Europe. After the fall of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1861, the ban on the opera no longer existed.

  • Virginia ist eine Oper (Originalbezeichnung: „Tragedia lirica“) in drei Akten (sieben Bildern) des italienischen Komponisten Saverio Mercadante. Das Libretto stammt von Salvadore Cammarano und basiert auf der gleichnamigen Tragödie von Vittorio Alfieri. Diese wiederum geht auf eine Geschichte von Titus Livius aus dem dritten Buch seines Geschichtswerks Ab urbe condita zurück, in der die Plebejerin Verginia die Begierde des mächtigen Dezemviren Appius Claudius auf sich zieht. Die Uraufführung der Oper fand am 7. April 1866 im Teatro San Carlo in Neapel statt. (de)
  • Virginia es una ópera en 3 actos de Saverio Mercadante con libreto en italiano de Salvatore Cammarano, basado en la tragedia de Vittorio Alfieri, escrita entre 1787 y 1783, que se basa a su vez en la historia mítica de Virginia que narra Tito Livio en su Ad Urbe condita. Aunque compuesta en 1850, la ópera no fue estrenada hasta el 7 de abril de 1866 en el Teatro San Carlo de Nápoles,​ siendo la última ópera que Mercadante estrenó en vida, aunque no la última que compuso (con posterioridad, la inédita Francesca da Rimini fue estrenada de forma póstuma en 2016).
