From Wikipedia

Creonte, (Italian Creonte) is the first opera by Dmytro Bortniansky, consisting of two acts (14 and 8 scenes) with a libretto by Marco Coltellini based on Sophocles' tragedy Antigone (441 BCE). The premiere took place in 1776 at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice. After the premiere, for unknown reasons, the score disappeared and was considered lost for almost 250 years. The handwritten score was discovered in the archives of the Ajuda Library (Lisbon, Portugal). In 2023, the manuscript was brought to Ukraine by Ukrainian musicologist Olga Shumilina. The world premiere of the rediscovered and restored opera in a concert production took place on November 11, 2024, at the Diplomatic Academy of Ukraine, conducted by UNESCO Artist for Peace Herman Makarenko.
