La fille du régiment, always one of Donizetti's most popular stage works, was first performed at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique in Paris on 11 February 1840. It was composed by Donizetti, to a libretto by Saint-Georges and Bayard, in 1839. Later on, Donizetti prepared an Italian version as well, using a libretto adaptation by Calisto Bassi. The opera enjoyed tremendous success - at the Opéra-Comique alone, more than one thousand performances were given between 1840 and 1917, and is widely staged in the major European and American opera houses.

A talented and complex figure with a character of rare depth and irreproachable morals, Fermo Bellini lived a life rich in experiences in the most disparate cultural fields, building his period in music between 1839 and 1850. A pupil of the distinguished violinist and conductor Gaetano Zocca in Ferrara, he specialized on the trombone, perhaps encouraged by his teacher, who had invented a new form of bow for this instrument. His son relates his success in the various theatres where he performed and in Milan, where he was held in esteem both as a composer and a theorist, transcribing opera scores particularly for wind instruments according to the fashion of the day. He was musically productive from 1833, the date of the printing of his first work continuing til the middle of the century when his passion for literature and social comment took on greater significance. Treatises, duets, trios, quartets and divertimenti demonstrate his considerable mastery and knowledge of wind instruments. such that it made him the leading exponent of the Milanese scene: works which were published by the major publishers of Milan such as Francesco Lucca and the Ricordi family confirm the reputation and success that Bellini achieved there.
