Pavlos Carrer (Paolo Carrer, Zakynthos, 12 May 1829 - Zakynthos, 7 June 1896) was a Greek composer. He stuied in Zakynthos, Corfu and in Milan. His first operas were performed at the Teatro Carcano, Milan, in the early 1850s. In the same city he published some of his salon music. In 1857 he returned to Zakynthos, where Isabella d'Aspeno and La rediviva were performed. In 1858 excerpts from his opera Marcos Botsaris were performed in Athens in the presence of King Otto. However he was unable to secure its performance in his native Zakynthos because of the occupation of the island by the British who feared the subject of the opera (the Greek war of independence) would increase pro-independence sentiments among the Zakynthos and other Ionian islands population. In mainland Greece, Marcos was first performed in Patras in 1861 and then Athens in 1875. The last of his operas, Marathon - Salamis (1888), had its world-premiere in 2003. Throughout his career, Carrer also worked as a teacher.
