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 should offer a
variety of operas, from those still in repertory to a selection of
titles that are especially significant for historical or musical
reasons. The critical edition of "Maria Stuarda", based principally
on the rediscovered autograph score, restores the two-act
structure, the original opening chorus, a substantial part of the
first finale, and Donizetti's original phrasing and orchestration.
Appendices include an overture (1835) and original vocal variants.
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. "La Favorite" was a huge success
from the start and a mainstay of the Paris Opera for decades. Yet
the version known in this century reflects a coarsely manipulated
Italian adaptation of the original. The critical edition
reconstructs the 1840 French version from autograph material that
in many cases has been examined for the first time. Appendices
include an alternate cabaletta in Act Three and contemporary vocal
variants.
