Fausta

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Fausta

Opera by Gaetano Donizetti (libretto by D Gilardoni), first produced at the Teatro San Carlo, Naples, Italy, on 12 January 1832. The story is not related to the Faust legend. It describes how Fausta, wife of the Roman emperor Constantine, loves her stepson, Crispo, who loves Beroe. Crispo rejects Fausta, but charges are nonetheless brought against him for supposedly loving the queen. He is condemned to death and Fausta poisons herself.
