The three acts are each entitled 'Love', 'Intrigue' and 'Poison'. So Schiller in Italian. The bourgeois daughter Luisa Miller falls in love with the supposed boy Carlo, who soon reveals himself to be the Count's son Rodolfo. Both fathers are - for different reasons - against the inappropriate marriage, and at the instigation of the intriguer Wurm, with the help of the Duchess Federica, a cabal is spun, in which the two lovers perish. Schiller, along with Shakespeare, is Verdi's greatest source of inspiration throughout his life. ›Luisa Miller‹ is the third opera he is writing based on material by the great Weimar playwright. Although the Neapolitan censorship required considerable changes to the literary original, the great music psychologist Verdi managed to create a real bourgeois tragedy that introduced his middle creative phase and as a direct anticipation of the operas Rigoletto, The Troubadour and La Traviata, known as the popular trilogy ‹ can be seen.
