The fact that Bellini was one of the great melodists, writing long, beautiful vocal lines, that he was a master orchestrator and that he could write stirringly for the chorus all conspire to make La sonnambula an extremely enjoyable example of Italian opera in it's prime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Background: Introduction \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Background: Rossini and Donizetti \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Background: Bellini: His Life and Other Operas \u003cbr\u003e1.4 La Sonnambula: The Plot and Bel Canto \u003cbr\u003e1.5 La Sonnambula: Prelude and Lisa's Cavatina \u003cbr\u003e1.6 La Sonnambula: Amina's Entrance \u003cbr\u003e1.7 La Sonnambula: Amina and Elvino's Love Duet \u003cbr\u003e1.8 La Sonnambula: Enter Count Rodolfo \u003cbr\u003e1.9 La Sonnambula: Exit Count Rodolfo, and Other Love Duet \u003cbr\u003e1.10 La Sonnambula: Lisa's Visit and Amina's Sleepwalking \u003cbr\u003e1.11 La Sonnambula: Broken - Hearted Elvino \u003cbr\u003e1.12 La Sonnambula: Elvino Still Feels Betrayed \u003cbr\u003e1.13 La Sonnambula: Plot Revelations \u003cbr\u003e1.14 La Sonnambula: The 'Mad' Scene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
