Refreshments will be served New York Times Writer - NEW YORK One of the most successful composers In New York this season has been Gaetano Donizetti who died in 1848. Two of his operas, about Queen Elizabeth and Mary of Scotland, are delighting audiences at the State Theater, largely because of Beverly Sills. At the Metropolitan Opera, there is Joan Sutherland going through some in The deadpan routines Daughter of the Regiment. In the Metropolitans repertory also is The Elixer of Love. It has been quite a season for DonizettL currently ti Myself, I prefer the Donizet- comedies. Regiment, Don Pasqu le" -tElixir, hese have something very special about them, ponizetti could be nearly as irrepres-ibl- e as Rossini, and he had a melodic gift almost on a par with that of his famous predecessor. The characters in his comic operas are real characters farced up, of course, but believable, funny, voluble, excitable, full of the Italian temperament. Cardboard Figures The figures in any Donizetti tragedy, on the other hand, are cardboard figures. Some of my colleagues manage to find great character delineation in Lucia, or Roberto Devereux, or whatever. I ruefully admit they are more sensitive than L In any Donizetti tragedy or Rossini and Bellini also, for that matter all I can see are stock figures moving in melodramatic poses. That does not mean I cant enjoy Lucia or whatnot. But to extol them as example of cogent or believable drama is (to me) equivalent to claiming the novels of Irving Wallace as great art. Donizetti himself probably would have been amused at some of the things present-da- y critics have been reading into his operas. For the most part he simply did not take them very seriously. He had a brilliant talent, he was a fertile creator, and he carelessly knocked off his 80 or so op- - paintings by Linda Lee Shimmin will be shown In the Rental-Sale- s Gallery of the Salt Lake Art Center beginning Sunday and continuing through April 15. f ist.

Thus, The Barber of Seville contained an overture used in two previous operas, and also material from four other Rossini operas. It took Rossini 13 days to compose his most famous opera, and one can understand why, considering the borrowings in Barber. When Donizetti learned how long it took Rossini to come up with Barber, he Joked about it. I always knew Rossini was a lazy man, he said. Donizetti took no more than eight days on The Elixer of Love. - What saves the Donizetti operas, of course, is the compos- er's melodic gift. He also time when new concepts of harmony were being brought into being by the and his early Romantics, later have some rugged sounds that were to lead directly into Verdi. Donizetti was. in his way, a strong and even masterful technician.

Most of them were formula operas, following a pattern that had been set by other composers many years before.
