"L'isola misteriosa" (The Mysterious Island) is an opera in three acts by Italian composer Teodoro Wolf-Ferrari, premiered in 1917. The libretto, written by Renato Simoni, is based on the adventure novel "The Mysterious Island" by Jules Verne, which was published in 1874. The opera follows the story of a group of castaways who land on an uncharted island and encounter a series of mysterious events as they struggle to survive and uncover the secrets of their strange new home.

Wolf-Ferrari, known for his comic operas, here explores a more dramatic and adventurous tone, blending his melodic gifts with the exotic and suspenseful elements of the story. The opera showcases his ability to adapt his compositional style to different genres, moving away from the light-hearted fare for which he was famous, such as "Il segreto di Susanna" and "I quatro rusteghi."

The premiere of "L'isola misteriosa" took place during World War I, a period that saw a decline in the production and performance of new operas. Despite the challenges of the time, Wolf-Ferrari's work was received with interest, as it provided an escape into a world of fantasy and intrigue. The opera, however, did not achieve the lasting popularity of some of his other works and is seldom performed today.

The score of "L'isola misteriosa" is noted for its rich orchestration and the use of leitmotifs to represent the characters and the mysterious elements of the island. The opera also reflects the influence of Wagnerian music drama, with its integration of music and narrative, while retaining the lyrical Italianate style that characterizes Wolf-Ferrari's oeuvre.

As a work that straddles the line between the romantic and the modern, "L'isola misteriosa" occupies a unique place in Wolf-Ferrari's catalog and in the broader context of early 20th-century opera. Its historical significance lies in its reflection of the era's shifting musical tastes and the experimentation with new operatic themes and forms.
