Primo viaggio di Colombo
also Columbus's first voyage, El primer viaje de Colón, Columbus and the settlement of Hispaniola
The 1492 crossing and the Spanish settlement of Hispaniola that followed it. Recorded as an event rather than a text because Braga wrote his own libretto and no intermediate source is credited. The opera's action reaches beyond the crossing into the conquest of the later 1490s.
