''Betly, ossia La capanna svizzera'' ("Betly, or The Swiss Chalet") is a ''dramma giocoso'' in two acts (originally one) by the Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti. The composer wrote the Italian libretto after Eugène Scribe and Anne-Honoré-Joseph Duveyrier de Mélésville's libretto for Adolphe Adam's opéra comique ''Le chalet'', in its turn based on Goethe's Singspiel ''Jery und Bätely'' (1779).〔Ashbrook (1982), p. 387.〕〔Pendle, Karin (1974).

However, the revision prepared by Donizetti for subsequent performances was a marked success.〔Ashbrook (1982), p. 109.〕 This success prompted the composer to expand the opera from one act to two acts. The two-act version of ''Betly'' was first presented on 29 September 1837 at the Teatro del Fondo, Naples.〔〔 Other Italian cities, where performances of the opera were given, include:〔Whether the one-act or two-act version was executed, is not always indicated in the sources.〕 Palermo in 1837,〔Mesa, Franklin (2007).
