Sunday Bandstand 4 October 2020
Vincenzo Bellini – 3.11.1801 – 23.09.1835) was an Italian opera composer, who was known for his long-flowing melodic lines for which he was named "the Swan of Catania". Many years later, in 1898, Giuseppe Verdi "praised the broad curves of Bellini's melody: 'there are extremely long melodies as no-one else had ever made before'. A large amount of what is known about Bellini's life and his activities comes from surviving letters
It appears that Bellini died at around 5 pm on 23 September 1835. It appears that Bellini died at around 5 pm on 23 September 1835. Immediately taking charge of arrangements, Rossini began to plan Bellini's funeral and entombment, as well as caring for his estate. He ordered that a post-mortem be performed, following an order which came directly from the King. The distinguished Court-appointed Doctor Dalmas performed the autopsy and reported his findings on the cause of death:
Bellini had succumbed to an acute inflammation of the colon, compounded by an abscess in the liver. The inflammation of the intestine had produced violent symptoms of dysentery during life.
Today, the Museo Belliniano, housed in the Gravina Cruyllas Palace in Catania in Sicily — Bellini's birthplace—preserves memorabilia and manuscripts. He was commemorated on the front of the Italian 5,000 lire banknote in the 1980s and 90s (before Italy switched to the Euro) with the back showing a scene from the opera Norma.
On today show we have a performance of the overture from Bellini’s opera Norma.
