Crawford pp. 146-7 (incorrectly describing this as the first edition). A melodramma semiserio in three acts to a libretto by Gaetano Rossi after Adolphe-Philippe d'Ennery and Gustave Lemoine's play La grace de Dieu, Linda di Chamounix was first performed in Vienna at the Kartnerthortheater on May 19, 1842. "The score of Linda is a monument to Donizetti's unfailing good taste, from the finely crafted overture to the final ensemble. Along with Bellini, Donizetti epitomized the Italian Romantic spirit of the 1830s. If Bellini expressed Italian Romanticism in its most concentrated form, Donizetti compensated by a greater versatility and resource and a stronger feeling for dramatic movement. He also had the benefit of a more thorough musical training under Mayr and Mattei, and this contributed much to his superior fluency of technique and invention." TNG II online.
