Fun Fact
Gaetano Donizetti's first opera, "Il Pigmalione," was composed in 1816 when he was only 19 years old. This one-act opera, based on the myth of Pygmalion, showcases his early talent and promise as a composer. Though not as famous as his later works, "Il Pigmalione" is notable for its lyrical melodies and set the stage for Donizetti's prolific career in opera, including masterpieces like "Lucia di Lammermoor" and "L'elisir d'amore."
