Meaning & History
Lodoïska is a French opéra comique (1791) by Luigi Cherubini. It was inspired by an episode from Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai’s novel Les amours du chevalier de Faublas and is considered one of the first Romantic operas. The name was coined as a (Gallicized) pseudo-Polish diminutive of Ludwika or Loda.
