In 1822 the young Donizetti was engaged by La Scala to compose an opera. His librettist was a slow worker, and Donizetti was forced to complete the workin less than 12 days. Because of the incoherent plot, which concerns Don Meschino and his daughter Chiara who are kidnapped by Algerians, and the villainous Don Fernando who schemes to marry the nobleman's younger daughter Serafina, the result was a fiasco. Donizetti's music, however, is profuse with delightful duets, trios and ensembles.
