The Rose of Castille (or Castile)[1] is an opera in three acts, with music by Michael William Balfe to an English-language libretto by Augustus Glossop Harris and Edmund Falconer, after the libretto by Adolphe d'Ennery and Clairville (alias of Louis-François Nicolaïe (1811–1879)) for Adolphe Adam's Le muletier de Tolède (1854). It was premiered on 29 October 1857, at the Lyceum Theatre, London.
^Tyldesley (p. xviii and footnotes on pp.170-1) points out that Balfe's autograph manuscript in the British Library has "Castille", but that both spellings were used in contemporary publications.
