唐尼采蒂 (Gaetano Donizetti, 1797-1848) 与前面介绍过的罗西尼，贝里尼并称十九世纪意大利歌剧的“前三杰”。他们的的共同特点是重视声音和歌唱技巧，同时也注重用美妙的歌唱塑造人物性格，展现戏剧情节。唐尼采蒂活跃的时期持续时间长，作有约75部歌剧，是名副其实的多产作曲家，其中最著名的作品有：

《爱的甘醇》（L'elisir d'amore, 1832）

《拉美莫尔的露契亚》（Lucia di Lammermoor/Lucie de Lammermoor，1835）

《军中女郎》（La fille du régiment, 1840）

《唐帕斯夸莱》（Don Pasquale, 1843）

这是一部喜歌剧，先欣赏一首卖酒人和女主角风趣的对唱“我富有，你美貌 ”（Io son ricco e tu sei bella）。歌词的英语翻译是：

Dulcamare

I’m rich, and you are beautiful,
I’ve got ducats ⁽¹⁾ and you’ve got charm.
Don’t refuse me,
Girl mine, what more could you want?

Adina

What an honour! A senator
Begging for my love!
But I’m a modest girl,
And one of my own kind wants to marry me!

Dulcamare

My idol, don’t be cruel,
Make a senator happy.

Adina

Excellency! [It’s] too great an honour,
I don’t deserve a senator.

Dulcamare

My dear barcarole ⁽²⁾,
Take the gold and forget the love.
Light is this one, light it flies,
But gold lasts for ever.

Adina

What an honour! A senator
Begging for my love!
But Zanetto is the young boy
I like and I’m going to marry.

Dulcamare

My idol, don’t be cruel,
Make a senator happy.

Adina

Excellency! [It’s] too great an honour,
To make a senator happy.

再欣赏一首是全剧最著名咏叹调 “偷洒一滴泪”（Una furtiva lagrima）。这是男主角听说女主角为他悄悄地落了泪，心里感动，充满希望时而发出的内心感叹。歌词的英文翻译是：

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Una_furtiva_lagrima

Una furtiva lagrima
negli occhi suoi spuntò:
Quelle festose giovani
invidiar sembrò.
Che più cercando io vo?
Che più cercando io vo?
M'ama! Sì, m'ama, lo vedo. Lo vedo.
Un solo istante i palpiti
del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir confondere
per poco a' suoi sospir!
I palpiti, i palpiti sentir,
confondere i miei co' suoi sospir...
Cielo! Si può morir!
Di più non chiedo, non chiedo.
Ah, cielo! Si può! Si può morir!
Di più non chiedo, non chiedo.
Si può morir! Si può morir d'amor.

A furtive tear
in her eyes appeared:
Those festive young girls
she seemed to envy.
What more need I look for?
What more need I look for?
She loves me! Yes, she loves me, I see it. I see it.
For a single instant the beats
of her beautiful heart to feel!
My sighs to confound
for a while with her sighs!
Her heartbeats, her heartbeats to feel,
my sighs with hers to confound...
Heavens! One could die!
More I cannot ask, I cannot ask.
Oh, heavens! One could, one could die!
More I cannot ask, I cannot ask.
One could die! One could die of love!
