Vincenzo Bellini
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Vincenzo Bellini (born Catania 3 Nov 1801 ; died Puteaux nr. Paris 23 Sep [[1835)] was an Italian composer. He was one of the most important opera composers of the early 19th century. He gave his singers beautiful melodies to sing, with sensitive orchestral accompaniments. He never married, although he had some passionate love affairs, and he argued a lot with other composers such as Donizetti. His greatest operas are I puritani, La sonnambula and Norma. In the 1950s famous recordings were made of these operas by the legendary soprano Maria Callas.
