More historical background for E Lucevan Le Stelle.
I wouldn't be surprised if Isolde is based on several actresses/opera singers from the time, specifically the french actress Sarah Bernhardt and the rumanian singer Hariclea Darcleé. The first one portraited La Tosca in 1887, which was written by the french dramaturge Victorien Sardou. The play was later adapted into an opera in 1900, where Darcleé became the first singer to take the role of La Tosca.
An interesting fact is how both performers and the character of La Tosca have been portrait by famous Art Noveau artists like Gustav Klimt, Adolfo Hohenstein or Alfons Mucha. Chapter 6 aesthetic is heavily based on the Vienna Secession style (which was VERY close to Art Noveau), particularly Klimt's work (he was the first president of the Secession after all).
And just to add one more thing: Dies Irae blasting near the end, in the 3rd Phase of the last boss battle, is hilarious because Giuseppe Verdi itself went to see the play on 1887, loved it, but refused to work in an opera adaptation because (*COF* like Marcus *COF*) "he didn't like the ending".
BINGO: Sardou Plays Adapted Into Verismo Operas Edition!
@rayatii recommended I check out Umberto Giordano's opera Fedora, and I clearly had waaaay too much fun comparing it to a different verismo opera based on another play by Victorien Sardou that I happen to know much better. Also, for anyone who's curious, please see links for Sardou's plays Fédora (English) and La Tosca (French), as well as the libretti to both Fedora and Tosca.

La Tosca (1973)
OTD in Music History: Legendary Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924) watches the world premiere of his immortal operatic masterpiece "Tosca" unfold onstage at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome in 1900. “Tosca” was an operatic adaptation of Victorien Sardou's (1831 – 1908) rather infamous French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" (1887). Set in Rome in 1800, it features graphic depictions of attempted rape, torture, murder, and suicide -- as well as some of Puccini's best-known and loveliest lyrical arias. (That's opera for you!) While many music critics over the years have condescendingly dismissed "Tosca" as nothing more than a facile bit of trashy and tearjerking melodrama (musicologist Joseph Kerman famously referred to it as "that shabby little shocker"), audiences have never paid them any mind -- the ravishing beauty of its musical inspiration, the overwhelming power of its orchestration, and the undeniable dramatic force of its libretto have long ensconced "Tosca" in a place of high honor as one of the most enduringly popular operas ever written. PICTURED: An extremely rare survivor - an original handbill advertising the world premiere of "Tosca," which was printed on very thin and very delicate (and most importantly for the theater promoters, very cheap!) onionskin paper.
