Opera in two acts Music by Bellini Libretto by CARLO PEPOU
(sung in Italian)
In response to a commission from the Teatro San Carlo. Naples, Bellini prepared a two-act revision of his last opera, adapted to the available singers - in particular Maria Malibran , the intended Elvira. But this revised version had to wait until 1986 for its first production, during which these records were made.
The action takes place in a Puritan fortress near Plymouth at the time of the Civil War. (tenor) (tenor) (soprano) (bass) (tenor) (bass) (mezzo-soprano)
