I am #NowListening to Donizetti's "Caterina Cornaro", one of his last operas. Others composers have written operas on the same subject, so next I will listen to "La Reine de Chypre" by Halévy, "Catharina Cornaro" by Lachner and "The Daughter of St Mark" by Balfe.

I know La Reine de Chypre, which is well worth listening to and has this excellent duet.
