Il giuramento is an opera by Italian composer Saverio Mercadante, premiered in 1837. Musically it sits within the bel canto tradition while demonstrating a shift towards more dramatic orchestration and through-composed ensembles, reflecting Mercadante's move to broaden the structural and harmonic language of mid‑19th-century Italian opera.
