A "melodramma semiserio" in three acts to a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti after Giovanni Rosini's Torquato Tasso (and to a lesser degree Carlo Goldoni's Tasso, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Tasso, and Byron's The Lament of Tasso) Donizetti's Torquato Tasso was first performed in Rome at the Teatro Valle on 9 September 1833.
"Eleonora's expressive sortita, 'Io l'udia nei suoi bei carmi', and her duet with the poet that follows, 'Colei Sofronia', are notable passages. The finest music in the score, however, comes in the last act with Tasso's Larghetto, 'Perché dell'aure in sen', leading into a touching dialogue with chorus; this culminates in a mournful cantabile to form the lyric section of the tempo di mezzo, and is followed by an elegiac cabaletta in C major. As in Anna Bolena, Donizetti here expanded the structure of the aria-finale to fill out an entire scene." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online.
