Don Carlos is an opera composed by Giuseppe Verdi. It was composed to a libretto in the French language by Camille du Locle and Joseph Méry. It was based on a famous German play called Don Carlos, Infante of Spain by Friedrich Schiller.
The opera is set in grim, authoritarian Spain at the time of the Inquisition, c. 1560. While both Schiller and Verdi took significant poetic license with actual events and relationships, most of the protagonists are based on historical models.
