L'arbore di Diana (The Tree of Diana), is an opera composed in 1787 by Vicente Martín y Soler, with an original libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. Da Ponte's only other libretto not taken from an existing plot was Così fan tutte.
Its premiere on 1 October 1787 marked the wedding of Joseph II's niece, the Archduchess Maria Teresa to Prince Anton Clemens of Saxony. The work was enormously successful in its day, but Martín's operas have since fallen from the repertoire. A revival was performed during the 2007 / 2008 season at the Theater Bielefeld in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany.
Some arias are available in various compilations. No complete recording appears to have been released.
