Bellinis knowledge of instrumentation was childish, but his intimacy withRubini, the famous tenor, aided him in achieving an admirable treatment ofthe voice. His operas were very sweet and melodious. The two operas bywhich he will be remembered are La Sonnambula and Norma, thelatter being, with all its faults, a great opera. Another talented and prolific operatic composer was Mercadante, whose II Giuramento (produced in 1837) achieved considerable popularity. ButMercadantes successes were generally confined to Italy. He composed sixtyoperas, and died in 1870 in Naples. Ponchielli, who was born in 1834 and died in 1886, will be principallyremembered by his remarkably beautiful opera, La Gioconda ( producedin 1876), which, together with a re-written version of his first opera, I Pro-messi Sposi, gave him great popularity in Italy and spread his reputation toother countries.</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>BKETHOVEN IN HIS STUDY. THE CENTURYS MUSIC AND DRAMA 209 As for Italys young composers that profess to represent the modernItalian school of opera, they are led by Puccini, whose Manon Lescautand La Boheme are melodious and full of merit. Mascagni and Leoncavallo, whose Cavalleria Rusticana and -I Ja-gliacci achieved popularity, have nut realized expectations. Nor has Gior-dano, whose Andrea Chenier * was well received in Italy. Bizet, whose Carmen is one of the most remarkable of modern operas,died in Paris in 1875. Carmen has remained in the repertoire. His otheropera. Les Pecheurs de Perles. only achieved a moderate success.</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
