Vincenzo Bellini

Vincenzo Salvatore Carmelo Francesco Bellini (3 November 1801 – 23 September 1835) is an Italian opera composer.

A native of Catania in Sicily, his greatest works are I Capuleti ed i Montecchi (1830), La sonnambula (1831), Norma (1831), Beatrice di Tenda (1833), and I puritani (1835).

Known for his long-flowing melodic lines, for which he is named "the Swan of Catania", Bellini is the quintessential composer of bel canto opera.

He dies in Puteaux, France at the age of 33, nine months after the premiere of his last opera, I puritani.
