'''{{lang|it| La Molinara}}''', also called '''{{lang|it|L'amor contrastato}}''' is an opera by [[Giovanni Paisiello]], after a libretto by [[Giuseppe Palomba]].<ref name="Wiki"/>. There seem to be different versions: The one from Parma<ref name="Parma"/>, Teatro di Corte, 1791, does not have the ''"[[Nel cor più non mi sento]]"'' at all. (That such a popular piece would be cut is unlikely, so this would validate future research.) The one from Naples, Teatro di Fiorentini 1789<ref name="Naples"/>, does, as well as the 1810 libretto from La Scala<ref name="Scala"/>.

International premiere dates have to be taken with a grain of salt: "L'Amor Contrasto, in 1795, was by the theatre management hailed as new, when it still was the ''La Molinarella'', later ''La Molinara'', having its King's [Theatre] premiere in 1791."<ref name="Fenner"/>

The opera unites many well-loved tropes while recounting the amorous adventures of the beautiful miller Rachelina. The plot is lively and comical, so it comes as no surprise that the opera stayed internationally popular long after its inception.

La commedia ruota tutta intorno al personaggio della bella e maliziosa Rachelina, padrona di mulino, lusingata dalle attenzioni di due uomini (il nobile Calloandro e il notaio Pistofolo) e indecisa su quale dei due scegliere come corteggiatore. Il gioco è divertente ma pericoloso perché capace di risvegliare la gelosia della baronessa Eugenia, feudataria del luogo nonché promessa a Calloandro. <ref  
The comedy revolves around the character of the beautiful and mischievous Rachelina, owner of a mill, flattered by the attention of two men (the nobleman Calloandro and the notary Pistofolo) and undecided as to which of the two to choose as suitor. The game is fun but dangerous because it can awaken the jealousy of Baroness Eugenia, feudal lord of the place and also promised to Calloandro.<ref name="Operamanager"/>
