This composer wrote an opera whose main soprano sings an aria which repeats the phrases "over there" and "it is there" and praises the title group, who is "feared by one sex and loved by the other," as "everyone knows." In addition to "Chacun le sait," that opera by this composer also contains a tenor aria with nine high C's, "Ah, mes amis," which is sung by Tonio, who has joined the title group so that he can marry (*) Marie, the title character. He also composed an opera which begins with Normanno searching for an intruder, who turns out to be Edgardo. That opera also features the aria "Il dolce suono," which is more commonly known as the "mad scene," sung by the protagonist, who is based on Lucy Ashton, the title character of a Walter Scott novel.
