He took it as a template, peppered with extreme emotional characters in exceptional circumstances on the basis of his ideas he the romantic opera was able to develop. With La straniera he succeeded his radical score. Hector Berlioz, who in Italian opera had actually little joy, was impressed by this music, be einkomponiert in the "deep passion, painful emotion" and a "cry of anguish mad love."
