Can somebody tell me if the arietta " a mezza note" also known as "quando notte sara oscura" is part of an opera or it is just an arietta that donizzeti wrote?Please!!! i have to sing it and to know everything about in !rocsyno1@yahoo.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.180.209.188 (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
There seem to be some typos in the Works: Quartet section (some are mentioned twice), or is it my idea? --Chrysalifourfour (talk) 15:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there some good reason why there is no List of operas by Donizetti in Category:Lists of operas by composer? This article would look better and tidier if the operas are removed to their own spinoff page, with better information (e.g. librettist, genre, etc.) in the same format as the rest of the lists in the Category. --GuillaumeTell 15:39, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Next month, Naxos records will be releasing a recording of a Donizetti work, which from the description may have a classification problem. Entitled Aristea, the work is one of those occasional pieces written to please the local monarch on their birthday. To all intents and purposes the work is a one act opera, but is apparently called a Cantata.
It does not appear to be on either list, I'd rather have some kind of consensus before adding it.
The liner notes can be read here.

What utter nonsense. Mozart never was Court capellmeister. He was a minor "Kammer-Kompositeur".--88.117.69.40 (talk) 18:17, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the section "The final journey to Bergamo" the phrase "until a serious bout of apoplexy occurred" appears. Shouldn't this be updated to intelligible modern English as "until he had a [series of] stroke[s]"? Hopefully the source would make clear whether it was one or more ("bout" inconclusively suggests several). 98.14.15.215 (talk) 21:32, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Donizetti was never diagnosed with syphilis. The method to diagnose syphilis was invented but in 1906. During Donizetti's lifetime no physician ever reached this dagnosis. The hypothesis that the composer had suffered from syphilis was only put forward by Cappelli in 1887 (G. Cappelli: La calotta cranica di Donizetti. In: Archivo italiano per le malattie nervöse 14, 1887, p. 135-153). There's no proof that Donizetti ever suffered from syphilis, there were no symptoms, nothing. This theory is entirely based on posthumous presumptions. Donizetti died of a series of strokes.--Suessmayr (talk) 09:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This article is mostly biography. It could do with a section about Donizetti's reputation today, and which of his operas are still performed. cagliost (talk) 14:49, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
