{{expand German|date=January 2019}}{{italic}}La donna serpente (The Snake Woman) is a 1932 opera by Alfredo Casella to a libretto by Cesare Vico Lodovici based on the fable, La donna serpente, by Carlo Gozzi.[1] The same fable was the basis of Wagner's first opera, Die Feen. The plot concerns a king, Altidòr, who falls in love with a fairy, Miranda. The fairy's father curses Altidòr that if he curses Miranda, she shall turn into a snake.Recordings- La donna serpente (LP) Mirto Picchi, Magda Laszlo, Renata Mattioli, Luisella Ciaffi, Coro di Milano della Rai, Giulio Bertola.
