Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)
Bio
Donizetti is, along with Rossini and Bellini, a leading figure in the bel canto Opera movement. Born just outside of Bergamo, Donizetti showed musical talent as a choirboy in his local church and eventually worked his way from one commission to another into notoriety. He eventually composed almost 70 Operas along with a small selection of other works.
