What opera brought Ovid into a violent dispute with emperor Augustus?

There is no record of an opera that brought Ovid into a violent dispute with emperor Augustus. Ovid's dispute with Augustus was due to the erotic and scandalous nature of his poetry, particularly the poem "Ars Amatoria" (The Art of Love), which was considered subversive and morally corrupt. As a result, Augustus exiled Ovid to the remote province of Tomis (modern-day Constanța, Romania) in AD 8, where he remained until his death in AD 17 or 18.
