Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...While Bellini was unfortunate in no longer having Romani for his librettist, the music of "I Puritani" is among the richest and most expressive of any he ever wrote. It is a peculiarity of the opera that the chief part, musically speaking, belongs to the tenor but being written for Rubini, whose upper tones were phenomenal, few tenors have voices sufficiently high to attempt it. The work was given in London in 1835 for Mme. Grisi's benefit and this "Puritani" season was remembered years afterward as the most brilliant ever known.
