Dopo l'oscuro nembo by mezzo soprano Caroline Gélinas

Dopo l'oscuro nembo from the Opera Adelson e Salvini by Vincenzo Bellini. Bellini's first opera was written as his final project at the Naples San Sebastiano Conservatory, when the composer was 23 years old. It was the custom at the Conservatory to introduce promising students to the public with a dramatic work. Bellini styled his project an opera semi-seria and it was first performed at the Teatro del Conservatorio di San Sebastiano in Naples sometime between mid-January and mid-March 1825, although David Kimbell states 12 February 1925. Weinstock explains the uncertainty as to the exact date as being due to a series of deaths of several prominent people (including Bourbon King Ferdinand I) which caused all public entertainment to stop during periods of mourning. "With a view to professional staging", various revisions were undertaken between 1826 and 1828, but the opera was never performed professionally.
