This man based his first opera on a novel by Francois-Thomas-Marie d'Arnaud. That opera, written while he was a student, chronicles a Roman (^) painter's love for his Irish noble friend's fiancee. Another of this man's operas is subtitled "the infanticide", and perhaps his most famous opera features the ensemble (+) "Credeasi, misera". That opera contains the overtly political aria "Suoni La Tromba". In another opera by this man, a (*) Druidic priestess commits suicide with her lover, a Roman soldier. For ten points, name this Italian composer of Adelson e Salvini, I Puritani, and Norma.
