This book is the first full-length biography in English of the composer of Don Pasquale and Lucia di Lammermoor. It is based on first-hand research in archives and libraries at the scenes of Donizetti's widespread activities. Operatically speaking, Gaetano Donizetti shared the first half of the Italian nineteenth century with Rossini and Bellini. Long active throughout Italy, he later turned his talents to the benefit of audiences in Pairs and Vienna. Attractive, humorous and enormously energetic, he won the affectionate regard of his colleagues and the intense devotion of numerous women, including his beautiful, but unfortunate wife. The story of Donizetti's life is worth telling for the illumination it sheds on operatic history and on the whole world of opera. He bridged the interval between the classical opera, with its rigid division into opera seria and opera buffa, and the romantic, dramatic operas of Verdi's middle period. His personal story of success that turned into final tragedy is an enthralling human document in itself. The reader meets the great, the well-remembered and the fascinatingly obscure in music, literature, politics and society. Among a total of nearly seventy operas which Donizetti composed, Lucia di Lammermoor, Don Pasquale and L'Elisir d'Amore have remained in the active repertoires of opera houses everywhere. His works were composed for a dazzling constellation of singers, including Grisi, Malibran, Pasta, Lablache, Mario, Ronconi and Rubini. Born into a poor artisan family in Bergamo, he ended his days laden with decorations and honors, a member of the legion d'honneur and the Academie des Beaux-Arts and an Aulic Councillor to the Emperor of Austria. Appendices include a complete annotated list of Donizetti's operas (with brief histories of their performances) and of his non-operatic compositions. They also offer a mass of other information, including a side glance at Giuseppe Donizetti, the composer's brother, who became musical director of Sultans and died at a pasha at Constantinople.

This book is the first full-length critical biography in English of Vincenzo Bellini, and it completes the author's trilogy of biographies of the outstanding pre-Verdian composers of Italy, linking as it does the life of the creator of Norma and I Puritani with those of Rossini and Donizetti. Mercurial, talented, ruled by swiftly fluctuating moods, the young Bellini from the start of his college days in Naples kept up a voluminous correspondence with his friends that gives a particularly rich and intimate view of his character and development as he moved through the musical life of Italy, London, and Paris in the heyday of bel canto. The handsome and self-centered Sicilian prodigy, captured off guard by Heinrich Heine so wickedly as "a sigh in dancing pumps," died at the tragically early age of 33, having written ten operas. Of these, Norma, La Sonnambula, and I Puritani have never disappeared from the repertoires of leading opera houses for over a century, and new recordings by opera stars bear witness to the rising interest in his lesser-known works as Il Pirata and Beatrice di Tenda. He wrote for the greatest singers of his day - Malibran, Grisi, Pasta, and Rubini - and he was the darling of the salons of Europe. This book tells the story of a great composer of opera and a complex, curiously flawed young man, sometimes winningly charming, sometimes abrasive and fearful. Mr. Weinstock, with judicious skill, lets Bellini speak as often as possible in his own words, and the result is the fascinating and shaded self-portrait of an artist at work. The second part of the volume is devoted to a detailed analysis of the operas and the non-operatic compositions, with information about the original casts and subsequent performers of the roles. The book contains a wealth of illustrations, some of which have never before been available for publication.

Veteran opera director William Ferrara walks the reader through the staging of twenty-five scenes from two of opera’s most beloved composers. He brings to life Donizetti’s delightful comedies and guides us through the dark world of Lucia di Lammmermoor. He discusses the hard moral choices in Verdi’s tragedies and invigorates the grisly melodramas.
