Adelina is an opera farsa (described as a ‘medodramma sentimentale’) in one act, by the Italian composer Pietro Generali with words by Gaetano Rossi. It was first performed at the Teatro San Moisè in Venice on either 15 or 16 September 1810. It premiered just before the first of Rossini's farse at the same theatre.
For the inspiration for his libretto Rossi turned to Lisbeth, a drame lyrique with words by Edmond de Favières, set by André Grétry and first performed in 1797 at the Salle Favart in Paris. The libretto is permeated by the ideals of Rousseau and the French Revolution.
The setting is a beautiful view outside Zürich with two rocks connected by a rustic bridge under which flows a stream. There is a courtyard with Varner’s home, where he lives with his daughters Adelina and Carlotta to the right, and to the left the house of Simone.
Adelina returns home after a long stay with a relative. She has an illegitimate child and is anxious about breaking the news to her father. When she meets the neighbour and teacher Simone (who continually quotes Latin maxims), she asks for his help. Simone suggests an anonymous letter to Varner, who is horrified when he learns of his daughter’s situation. Firmino, and then Erneville arrive on the scene, and Erneville, the child’s father is reunited with Adelina. Varner considers leaving the town, to avoid shame and disgrace. Following further intervention by Simone, the opera ends with a marriage and forgiveness.
Adelina is a genus of protozoa within the phylum Apicomplexa. They are coccidian parasites of arthropods and oligochaetes. Host orders include Coleoptera, Diptera, Collembola, Embioptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera.
The genus was created by Hesse in 1911 to accommodate a number of species within the genus Adelea that differed significantly: the sporocysts in Adelina are fewer in number than in Adelea and are spherical instead of being discoidal. The type species is Adelina octospora Hesse 1911
Members of this genus have spherical or subspherical oocysts. The sporocysts are spherical and thick-walled.
If you could fly like a bird in the sky
Hide in the clouds from the people below
If you could fly anywhere that you wanted
Tell me where would you go
If you could live like a fish in the ocean
And never knowing the time or the day
If you could be anything that you wanted
Even just for a day
Everyone sits and wonders
What they will never do
Now can you hear the thunder
It's calling you
Dream when your eyes are open
Dream when you're sound asleep
No one can ever stop you dreaming
Dream with your heart is broken
Dream when you've given up
Nothing should ever stop you dreaming
If you could walk on the moon like a spaceman
And look on down at the world from above
If you could travel the endless journey
And go somewhere you love
Open your heart and wonder
All that you're gonna do
Follow the sound of thunder
It's calling you
Dream when your eyes are open
Dream when you're sound asleep
No one can ever stop you dreaming
Dream with your heart is broken
Dream when you've given up
Nothing should ever stop you dreaming
Dream when your eyes are open
Dream when you're sound asleep
No one can ever stop you dreaming
Dream with your heart is broken
Dream when you've given up
