Several of Bulwer-Lytton's novels were made into operas. One of them, Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen (1842) by Richard Wagner,[1] eventually became more famous than the novel.[citation needed] Leonora (1846) by William Henry Fry, the first European-styled "grand" opera composed in the United States, is based on Bulwer-Lytton's play The Lady of Lyons,[2] as is Frederic Cowen's first opera Pauline (1876).[3] Verdi rival Errico Petrella's most successful opera, Jone (1858), was based on Bulwer-Lytton's The Last Days of Pompeii, and was performed all over the world until the 1880s, and in Italy until 1910.[4] Harold: The Last of the Saxon Kings (1848) provided character names (but little else) for Verdi's opera Aroldo (1857).[5]
