Donizetti’s opera buffa Don Pasquale opened in Paris in 1843, with a libretto mainly by Giovanni Ruffini, as well as the Composer himself. There have been many recordings of this opera, particularly more recently under the batons of Muti, Abbado, Santi and Levine, with artists such as Freni, Nucci, Bruson, Kunde, Raimondi, Florez and Netrebko taking the lead roles.
L'elisir d'amore is a two-act comic opera by the Italian composer Donizetti and was premiered in 1832 in Milan. The opera was written in six weeks! It is a love story reflecting on how a young farm worker Nemorino gets his girl, the farm owner Adina, despite the interest of a rival the boastful Sergeant Belcore and using a love potion put together by the dubious Doctor Dulcamara.
