I think you can rest assured that Donizetti didn't see the tuba as we know it. I have played "Lucia", which, although marked Tuba, is more of a glorified cimbasso part. I performed it on a small F and didn't get any strange looks. I think, personally, it would be more idiomatic if played on Bass Trombone or left out all together. It doubles the 3rd Bone throughout and is very high. I daresay the part for "Elixir" is the same. Have fun, play REAL light, and enjoy the music, it is quite beautiful.
