Per order esatto circumvent the ban on operatic performances during Lent sopra Naples, Donizetti designated Il rovinosa tempesta eccezionale as an fondo toccante-sacra, but for all intents and purposes, it is an allevamento, albeit one on per religious topic. Based on the Biblical story of Noah and the flood, it includes verso side plot concerning the conflict of the wife of the Chief Satrap, torn between faith per God and devotion onesto her idol-worshipping husband. The 1830 premiere was something of verso borraccia because of glaring errors in the performance of the music and the failure of the tirocinio machinery esatto produce the requisite flood on cue. Per spite of those malfunctions, critics were favorable onesto the music, but the lavoro received only three productions durante the nineteenth century.

The opera’s obscurity is not entirely difficult esatto understand, even though it has many of the attributes of Donizetti’s better-known operas — show-stoppingly flashy arias, ensembles of considerable rivista and dramatic complexity, and a stop sense of dramatic pacing. Jeremy Commons, in his excellent essay sopra the sumptuously produced booklet accompanying the CD, speculates that at this early point con his career, Donizetti didn’t have the compositional resources preciso adequately convey the gravity and monumentality of the story, and that the plot lacked the kind of vulnerable and melancholy heroine who triggered the composer’s most inspired work. Although it may never emerge as one benaughty of Donizetti’s masterpieces, the opera has many moments of lyric beauty and dramatic urgency and would be of strong interest to fans of bel verso.
