"La Bottega dell'Antiquario" is an opera in three acts composed by Alfons Hollaender, a German composer, conductor, and music teacher. The opera is based on Charles Dickens's novel "The Old Curiosity Shop," which was published in 1841. Hollaender's adaptation, with an Italian libretto, transforms Dickens's tale of the young and virtuous Nell Trent and her grandfather into a lyrical drama that explores themes of love, innocence, and the corrupting power of money.

The opera was composed during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when many composers were turning to literary sources for operatic adaptation. Hollaender, who was known for his contributions to the musical scene in Berlin and his work in the genre of operetta, brought his melodic style and orchestral skill to the creation of "La Bottega dell'Antiquario." The work reflects the Romantic era's fascination with the blending of music and narrative, and it showcases Hollaender's ability to capture the emotional depth and complexity of Dickens's characters through his composition.

While "La Bottega dell'Antiquario" may not be as widely known as the works of Hollaender's contemporaries, it represents an interesting intersection of literature and music, offering a unique operatic interpretation of a classic English novel. The opera's reception and performance history, as well as its place within Hollaender's oeuvre, contribute to its significance in the study of operatic adaptations of literary works.

The opera's score and libretto would typically be of interest to scholars of musicology and literary adaptation, as well as to opera enthusiasts curious about lesser-known works that draw from prominent literary sources. Performances of "La Bottega dell'Antiquario" would likely appeal to audiences who appreciate the melding of 19th-century literary narratives with the expressive possibilities of the operatic form.
