Donizetti " Il campanello -------por RITA AMODEI

READ THIS FIRST: CONSIDERATIONS & PLOT This is a lesser known minor opera and a part of a series of one-act operas which Donizetti composed when he was at the peak of his popularity. This hilarious farce was written and composed by Donizetti himself (music AND libretto) about 6 months after the great success obtained in the same city with the premiere of his "Lucia di lammermoor" at the San Carlo theater. This opera premiered in 1836 at the teatro Nuovo in Naples. In fact it was composed in order to help the Teatro Nuovo out of his precarious financial situation in those years. Rumor has that the composer took only a week to write the whole opera. Originally it was only a farce with dialogues and only 5 sung parts and the role of the basso-buffo in Neapolitan dialect. Later, seen his success, Donizetti reworked the opera for the Theater "del Fondo" replacing dialogues with "recitativi" changed a few arias and added a second duet for bass and baritone. This version is the one presented here. Il campanello di notte or Il campanello dello speziale or the night bell (campanello=bell) is Donizetti's forty-sixth opera. It was the first of a duo of one-act comedies the composer wrote to his own verses in June and August 1836. Both were well received. It is a typical buffa comedy with more situations than plot. It concerns the marriage of Don Annibale Pistacchio, (Pistacchio=peanut) an apothecary, to the much younger and exotic Serafina who was the former lover of her cousin Enrico who she has forsaken because of his womanising. Under the kingdom of Naples law, a pharmacist was required to prescribe whatever medicines were required at whatever hour of the day or night. In order to thwart the consummation of the marriage, the jealous Enrico turns up throughout the marriage night in varying disguises, rings the apothecary's bell (Il campanello) and demands treatment for himself or an imaginary wife because he knows that Annibale the next day must leave for Rome early in the morning on an urgent matter. In fact at dawn Annibale tired and frustrated must leave for Rome without even having entered the bedroom.... +++++++++++++++++++
