Teatro La Fenice in Venice commissioned Verdi to write an opera that would be performed there. It took Verdi some time to complete since he spent a lot of time finding the right subject. After Ernani premiered, it became Verdi's most popular opera until „II trovatore“ and it was revived a number of times in its early years.
