His style employs colourful orchestration and the use of special effects to heighten drama. He makes extensive use of virtuoso colouratura arias with soaring melodies, spectacular runs and vivid ornamentation. Stirring arias and choruses sometimes convey Italian Nationalism.

Overall, his operas are conventional, featuring the "numbers" approach where overtures, recitatives, arias, ensembles and choruses alternate.
