Composer
Vincenzo Bellini
Wrote Norma and the long melodic lines that Chopin and Verdi both learned from. He died at thirty-three of an intestinal infection.
Vincenzo Salvatore Carmelo Francesco Bellini was an Italian opera composer of the early Romantic era famed for his long, graceful melodies and evocative musical settings. A central figure of the bel canto era, he was admired not only by the public but also by many composers who were influenced by his work. His songs balanced florid embellishment with a deceptively simple approach to lyric setting.
