Betly or La capanna svizzera a dramma giocoso to Donizetti's own libretto after Scribe Mélesville and Goethe premiered in one act in Naples at the Teatro Nuovo on 21 August 1836. The present revised version in two acts was also premiered in Naples on 29 September 1837. "Betly has a score full of unpretentious charm and a plot that works well on the stage. The role of Daniele is akin to that of Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore. The highlights of the score are Betly's solo moments: her sortita and her aria-finale the former particularly for its local colour with a yodel-like refrain." William Ashbrook in Grove Dictionary of Opera Scores containing 19th century unpublished vocal embellishments are particularly interesting as they document contemporary performance practice.

Don Pasquale a dramma buffo in 3 acts to a libretto by Giovanni Ruffini and Donizetti after Angelo Anelli premiered in Paris at the Théâtre Italien on 3 January 1843. The incredible success of the opera led to a series of performances the same year in Milan 17 April Vienna 14 May and London 19 June. "Don Pasquale was an instant success . For its Viennese première at the Kärntnertortheater on 14 May 1843 in Italian a production prepared by Donizetti he added to the score the baritone-buffo duet 'Cheti cheti immantinente' borrowing it from a discarded section of the unperformed L'ange de Nisida; Don Pasquale was sung on that occasion by Tadolini Norina Rovere Pasquale Salvi Ernesto and Ronconi Malatesta . " . The opera has been described as 'Mozartian' and clearly it shares certain characteristics with Mozart's approach: the characters are humanized not mere farcical stereotypes and the melodies mirror the emotions they express. This comparison is often made in apparent astonishment that a Donizetti could achieve such an irresistibly heartfelt comedy. Rather it is more appropriate to describe the opera as supremely 'Donizettian' for it stands as a summation of all his most valuable qualities." William Ashbrook in Grove Dictionary of Opera. Ant.

"This was Donizetti's first great international success giving him his initial exposure to Paris and London audiences. Pasta Anne and Rubini Percy sang in the première. Immensely popular for almost half a century it re-entered the modern repertory following a triumphant revival at La Scala with Callas in 1957.

"The score of Linda is a monument to Donizetti's unfailing good taste from the finely crafted overture to the final ensemble. 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.
