Vincenzo Bellini
Italian opera composer Vincenzo Bellini, although only 34 when he died in France on 23 September 1835, wrote eleven operas notable for a vocal style demanding both legato for the substantial melodic lines and bravura for dramatic display. He was born at Catania in Sicily on 3 November 1801.
