Domenico Cimarosa
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Domenico Cimarosa , 1749-1801, Italian operatic composer. He wrote almost 80 operas, which were successfully produced in Rome, Naples, Vienna, and St. Petersburg. His works, of which Il matrimonio segreto (1792) is the best known, are good examples of pure opera buffa. He also wrote serious operas and church and instrumental music notable for its clear and Mozartean effect.
