It premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice on February 4 1836 and was dedicated to his friend Giovanni Agostino Perotti 1769/70-1855 composer and maestro di cappella at San Marco. <br/><br/>"Well and widely received during its first decade Belisario was however overtaken by the vogue for Lucia di Lammermoor which immediately precedes it in the Donizetti canon. That rarity an opera without a romantic love interest Belisario had problems sustaining its popularity because the prima donna's role is unsympathetic dramatically in spite of her brilliant arias in the first and last acts. The plot is in sum an uneasy mixture of classical and Romantic elements; but considering the eloquence of the music it drew from Donizetti it is fair to say that Belisario does not deserve the neglect into which it has largely fallen."

Musically the score has great merits. Gemma's aria finale - consisting of a prayer of imprecation on her husband's second marriage succeeded by a change of heart and her resolution to enter a convent which in turn leads into the eloquent Larghetto 'Un altare ed unabenda' and the despairing cabaletta 'Ah chi m'accusa' forms a classic test for a dramatic soprano d'agilità. The role of the Saracen Tamas composed for Domenico Reina is dramatically effective and his Allegro giusto in Act 1 'Mi toglieste a un sole ardente' was long a popular showpiece for tenors; on more than one occasion its libertarian sentiments prompted demonstrations against repression."

Inzaghi IN. 57 p. 177.<br/><br/>Donizetti composed his one-act opera Il Campanello di notte to his own libretto based on a French vaudeville La sonnette de nuit by Brunswick Mathieu-Barthélemy Troin and Victor Lhérie. It premiered at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples on June 1 1836. The absurd plot follows Enrico as he continually harasses pharmacist Don Annibale who is trying to celebrate his wedding night with Serafina whom Enrico still loves.<br/><br/>"Enrico's role created by Giorgio Ronconi is fitted with all sorts of musical and dramatic opportunities. His encounters with Annibale develop in musical ingenuity. Particularly effective are the episode of the hoarse singer replete with musical allusions to other scores by Donizetti and by Rossini and the encounter over the prescription which develops into something with even more bizarre medical terms than Dr Dulcamara's aria in Elisir and with more frantic parlando than the Don Pasquale-Malatesta duet."

Donizetti arrived in Paris on 21 October 1838 and the work was first performed at the Théâtre-Italien there on 17 December 1839 to great acclaim<br/><br/>"Donizetti's score is a study in shrewd contrasts: from the fairly florid lines of the duet 'Chiedi all'aura' - florid yet always rhetorically tidy - to the bumptious 3/8 stretta of the Act 1 finale or from the sharply differentiated tones of Nemorino and Belcore in the 'Venti scudi' duet to the comic irony in the duet for Adina and Dulcamara 'Quanto amore!' which sets off the potion as charm against the charm of Adina herself. The apparently effortless outpouring of melody arouses wonder especially as it is never melodiousness for its own sake but always describes some aspect of character; moreover there are those moments of genuine pathos 'Adina credimi' and 'Una furtiva lagrima' for instance that keep this comedy from seeming merely heartless or cruel. Ultimately the continuing appeal of L'elisir lies in the appropriateness of Donizetti's music to this bucolic variant of the 'male Cinderella' myth. Nemorino's good-heartedness and his singleness of purpose win out in spite of potions and unforeseen inheritances." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online. Marquerie Frères unknown books‎

It is now widely regarded as one of Donzietti's best operas with considerable attention given to the fourth act. <br/><br/>"In spite of its mixture of sources La favorite must rank among Donizetti's best works although it slips from its high standard in a few instances such as the merely efficient ballet music."

Along with Bellini Donizetti epitomized the Italian Romantic spirit of the 1830s. If Bellini expressed Italian Romanticism in its most concentrated form Donizetti compensated by a greater versatility and resource and a stronger feeling for dramatic movement. He also had the benefit of a more thorough musical training under Mayr and Mattei and this contributed much to his superior fluency of technique and invention." TNG II online.

When it was new it was regarded as the apogee of high Romantic sensibility. The clear plot which trims away much of Scott's accessory detail possesses the stark tautness of a tale by Poe. It is no coincidence that Flaubert employed it as an important point of reference in the downward course of Emma Bovary that quintessential victim of Romantic illusions."<br/><br/>"Although all the principal roles are vocally challenging their music is uniformly grateful. The score contains scant sign of the unevenness that afflicts a number of Donizetti's works. Cammarano's libretto moved him deeply and inspired by his recent first exposure to Paris Donizetti produced what is certainly his masterpiece." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online. Gio.

It premiered at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna on June 5 1843.<br/><br/>"The most tautly constructed of Donizetti's romantic melodrammi Maria di Rohan shows clear signs particularly in Act 3 that Donizetti was moving towards the effect of unbroken musical continuity abandoning the closed patterns of conventional 'number' opera. Even in Act 1 the usual succession of 'entrance' arias is given new force and dynamism by Donizetti's tendency to reduce the fixed forms to their minimum and to inject vivid musical characterization. It is a work that calls for accomplished singers who are also powerful actors particularly for the baritone role of Chevreuse. Chorley described the powerful effect produced by Giorgio Ronconi in this part.<br/><br/>Maria di Rohan contains some of Donizetti's most expressive music. The soprano's first-act aria 'Cupa fatal mestizia' suggests Un ballo in maschera. The tenor's aria at the beginning of Act 2 'Alma soave e cara' is one of a number of fine single-movement tenor arias from the final years of Donizetti's output that reveal how effectively he wrote for this range of voice. The baritone's scene in Act 3 'Bella e di sol vestita' has been eloquently recorded by Mattia Battistini." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Ricci was an important figure in the transmission of 19th century traditions passed on to him by noted baritone Antonio Cotogni 1831-1918 whom he accompanied from the age of 12. He was active as a vocal coach at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia where he taught amongst many others Sesto Bruscantini Anna Moffo Rosalind Elias Ezio Flagello Peter Lindroos and Martti Wallén.
