| Publisher Description: A versatile and prolific composer whose works dominated opera houses in the late 1830s and 1840s. Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) had an enormous influence on subsequent opera composers, including Verdi. Yet the texts of many of his operas pose numerous problems, partly due to the accumulation of changes made by generations of interpreters. With the renewed popularity of his operas, the need for a critical edition became keenly felt. This highly acclaimed edition does not aim to publish all his works, but will offer a variety of operas, from those still in the repertory to a selection of titles that are especially significant for historical or musical reasons. One of Donizetti's most brilliant comedies, Il campanello was initially written as a farce with spoken dialogues, but was revised by the composer with recitatives and new pieces. Based on several newly examined sources, the critical edition presents both the original and revised versions. |
