NYTimes.com: “I PURITANI,” an 1835 opera set during the English Civil War, was the last work written by the Sicilian-born composer Vincenzo Bellini; he died at 33, several months after its premiere. Terrence McNally’s new play “Golden Age,” opening Dec. 4 in a Manhattan Theater Club production, portrays Bellini as a gifted musician stymied by self-doubt, afraid that his small-town origins will keep him from acceptance in Paris, where the opera is making its debut.
