Gaetano Donizetti

Jelajahi sheet piano oleh Gaetano Donizetti di Zen Virtual Piano. Gaetano Donizetti composed operas, yet his family was very poor and had no tradition of music. His father, Andrea, was the caretaker of the town pawnshop. Donizetti was an unremarkable choirboy, yet Mayr saw an emerging musical talent in him. Mayr arranged his place at the Liceo Filarmonico, the music school in Bologna, and there he received thorough training in fugue and counterpoint. His father’s pawnshop post and his entry to a music school at Bologna may point to a wide gap between his family’s circumstances and his musical schooling. Enrico di Borgogna, staged in 1818 at the Teatro San Luca in Venice, gave Donizetti his first success. Over the following dozen years he wrote 31 operas at minimum. Naples staged most of them, and they are now forgotten. Merelli had studied alongside Donizetti and by then directed both La Scala and Vienna's KƤrnthnerthor Theater. He hired Donizetti to write an opera for La Scala. Milan produced Anna Bolena in 1830. The opera carried Donizetti’s fame to every European capital and, eventually, across the Atlantic. The 31 operas produced mostly at Naples and the success of Anna Bolena in Milan may suggest work written for more than one city. Another lasting success came two years on with L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love). Felice Romani wrote the libretto for this comedy. Britannica calls Romani the best theatre poet of the day. Nemorino’s aria ā€œUna furtiva lagrimaā€ comes from Act II of that opera and is set in Bā™­ minor, a dark key with often tragic associations. The comedy of L’elisir d’amore and the tragic associations of Bā™­ minor in its aria may hint at lightness and gravity meeting in one opera. Donizetti's 1828 bride, Virginia Vasseli, had a brother who ranked among his closest friends in Rome, and the couple settled in Naples. Britannica says her death in 1837, soon after a son was stillborn, left him with spirits that never really recovered, since he had been deeply devoted to her. Until 1838 Donizetti kept working in Naples. That year the city's censors took exception to Poliuto, an opera about a Christian martyr, judging a sacred subject unfit for the stage. He then returned to Paris. The spread of Anna Bolena’s fame to every European capital and Donizetti’s return to Paris may suggest that Paris was among the European capitals his fame had reached.
