La Zingara
''La zingara'' (''The Gypsy Girl'') is an opera semiseria in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti, set to a libretto by Andrea Leone Tottola after ''La petite bohémienne'' (''The Little Gypsy'') by Louis-Charles Caigniez, which was itself derived from a work of August von Kotzebue. It was Donizetti's first opera written for Naples, and the first performance of this "rescue opera" took place at the Teatro Nuovo on 12 May 1822. One critic reviewing the 2001 recording from the Festival della Valle d'Itria, made the following observations: Despite its moronic libretto, the opera was an enormous success at its premiere in Naples in 1822, and even Bellini wrote nice things about the second-act septet in which Donizetti mixes buffo and serious characters, as well as Neapolitan dialect (there are no recitatives; numbers are separated by spoken dialogue) with "pure" Italian, and the absurd plot is (sort of) held together by the clever Argilla, who under the guise of telling fortunes gains ent ...

Opera Semiseria
Opera semiseria ('semi-serious opera') is an Italian genre of opera, popular in the early and middle 19th century. Related to the opera buffa, opera semiseria contains elements of comedy but also of pathos, sometimes with a pastoral setting. It can usually be distinguished from tragic operas or melodramas by the presence of a basso buffo. One of the better-known examples is Gaetano Donizetti's ''Linda di Chamounix''. Another example is Gioacchino Rossini's ''La gazza ladra''. Vincenzo Bellini's ''La sonnambula'' has all the characteristics of the genre except the presence of the required basso buffo A bass is a type of classical male singing voice and has the lowest vocal range of all voice types. According to ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera'', a bass is typically classified as having a vocal range extending from around the second E b ... and is regarded as both opera seria and opera semiseria.
