GIANNI SCHICCHI Old Buoso, the aged patriarch of the Donati family, has just died, leaving his considerable fortune to a, monastery rather than to the greedy relatives who have gathered at his deathbed. One of these relatives, the young Rinussio, calls upon Gianni Schicchi, the shrewd but good-hearted father of his beloved Lauretta. Schicchi arrives amid grumbling from the Donati, who look down upon his humble birth. Schicchi proposes to impersonate the dead man, whose demise has not yet been announced, and dictate a new will in which each of the relatives will receive just what he wants. The kinsfolk are de­ lighted and send for a notary. Schicchi, in Donati's bed, proceeds to dictate the new will; but after dividing most of the estate according to the relative's wishes, he leaves the choice pieces of Donati's fortune to himself. The relatives are furious but dare not protest for fear of the law. The young lovers, however, are made happy, for Schicchi gives Lauretta his portion of the legacy as her dowry.

Presented by Arrangement with G. Ricordi & C. Milano. IL TABARRO Against a background of singing stevedores and tug-boat horns, a feeling of es­ trangement is evident between the young wife, Giorgetta, and her older husband, Michele, after another long day on their barge in the Seine. Giorgetta serves the weary stevedores, including Talpa, Tinca, and Luigi, some wine and a passing organ grinder supplies music for an impromptu dance. As a song peddler gives a sample of his latest tune to some girls, Talpa's ragpicker wife, Frugola, comes to collect him. After a day of rummaging she has a prize for Giorgetta - a good comb. For her cat Caporale, she has a beef heart. Tinca leaves for the day, bound for the saloon to drink off his troubles. Lc.igi approves ("Hai ben ragione"), for city life is hard. Frugola dreams of a little house in the country ("Ho sognato una casetta"), but Giorgetta loves Paris ("E ben altro il mio sogno!"), and Luigi, who shares Giorgetta's love for Paris, agrees rapturously. When Frugola and Talpa are gone, Michele comes back, rejecting Luigi's request to find work in Rouen. Alone with Giorgetta, Luigi admits that he wants to leave Paris because he cannot bear sharing her with her husband. They plan to meet later, and Luigi leaves after the lovers agree that the signal for their rendezvous will be a lit match held by Giorgetta. Michele .. comes back on deck and tries unsuccessfully to bring Giorgetta close to him again, as he recalls the joy they once knew with their little child, now dead. Left by himself, Michele tends to the barges lanterns as a couple of young lovers stroll along the dock. He broods over his wife's changed affection and attempts to guess the identity of her lover ("Nulla, Silenzio!"). As Michele's lights his pipe Luigi mistakes the match for Giorgetta's signal and approaches the barge. Michele realizes that a meeting between his wife and her lover is imminent and his reaction culminates in murder. .

  • Ceriani Rowan University Email: [email protected]
    Nineteenth-Century Music Review, 14 (2017), pp 211–242. © Cambridge University Press, 2016 doi:10.1017/S1479409816000082 First published online 8 September 2016 Romantic Nostalgia and Wagnerismo During the Age of Verismo: The Case of Alberto Franchetti* Davide Ceriani Rowan University Email: [email protected] The world premiere of Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana on 17 May 1890 immediately became a central event in Italy’s recent operatic history. As contemporary music critic and composer, Francesco D’Arcais, wrote: Maybe for the first time, at least in quite a while, learned people, the audience and the press shared the same opinion on an opera. [Composers] called upon to choose the works to be staged, among those presented for the Sonzogno [opera] competition, immediately picked Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana as one of the best; the audience awarded this composer triumphal honours, and the press 1 unanimously praised it to the heavens. D’Arcais acknowledged Mascagni’smeritsbut,inthesamearticle,alsourgedcaution in too enthusiastically festooning the work with critical laurels: the dangers of excessive adulation had already become alarmingly apparent in numerous ill-starred precedents. In the two decades prior to its premiere, several other Italian composers similarly attained outstanding critical and popular success with a single work, but were later unable to emulate their earlier achievements. Among these composers were Filippo Marchetti (Ruy Blas, 1869), Stefano Gobatti (IGoti, 1873), Arrigo Boito (with the revised version of Mefistofele, 1875), Amilcare Ponchielli (La Gioconda, 1876) and Giovanni Bottesini (Ero e Leandro, 1879). Once again, and more than a decade after Bottesini’s one-hit wonder, D’Arcais found himself wondering whether in Mascagni ‘We [Italians] have finally [found] … the legitimate successor to [our] great composers, the person 2 who will perpetuate our musical glory?’ This hoary nationalist interrogative returned in 1890 like an old-fashioned curse.

  • Il Trittico 301
    Recondite Harmony: Il Trittico 301 Recondite Harmony: the Operas of Puccini Chapter 12: Il Trittico: amore, dolore—e buonumore “Love and suffering were born with the world.” [L’amore e il dolore sono nati col mondo] Giacomo Puccini, letter to Luigi Illica, 8 Oct 19121 Puccini’s operatic triptych, Il Trittico, is comprised of the three one-act operas: Il tabarro, a story of illicit love; Suor Angelica, a tale of a nun’s suffering at the loss of her illegitimate child; and Gianni Schicchi, a dark comedy in which both love and loss are given a morbidly humorous twist. The Trittico2 was always intended by the composer to be performed in a single evening, and it will be treated as a tripartite entity in this chapter. The first two editions, from 1918 and 1919, group all three works together, which was at Puccini’s insistence. In an unpublished letter to Carlo Clausetti, dated 3 July 1918, the composer reveals how he clashed with publisher Tito Ricordi over this issue: There remained the question of the editions—that is, [Tito Ricordi] spoke of them immediately and pacified me by saying that they will publish the works together and separately. But I think that he was not truthful because the separated ones will never see the light of day. And what will happen with the enumeration? There will certainly not be two types of clichets [printing plates], one with numbers progressing through the three operas, and the other with numbers for each score, starting from number one. So, he deceived me.3 1 Eugenio Gara.

  • Il Trittico Pucciniano
    GIACOMO PUCCINI IL TRITTICO PUCCINIANO Il trittico viene rappresentato per la prima volta al Teatro Metropolitan di New York il 14 dicembre 1918. Il tabarro - Luigi Montesanto (Michele); Giulio Crimi (Luigi), Claudia Muzio (Giorgetta); Suor Angelica - Geraldine Farrar (Suor Angelica), Flora Perini (Zia Principessa); Gianni Schicchi - Giuseppe de Luca (Gianni Schicchi), Florence Easton (Lauretta), Giulio Crimi (Rinuccio); direttore d'orchestra Roberto Moranzoni. La prima italiana ha luogo, meno d'un mese dopo, al Teatro Costanzi (odierno Teatro dell'opera di Roma) l'undici gennaio 1919, sotto la prestigiosa direzione di Gino Marinuzzi, fra gli interpreti principali: Gilda dalla Rizza, Carlo Galeffi, Edoardo de Giovanni, Maria Labia, Matilde Bianca Sadun. L'idea d'un "Trittico" - inizialmente Puccini aveva pensato a tre soggetti tratti dalla Commedia dantesca, poi a tre racconti di autori diversi - si fa strada nella mente del Maestro almeno un decennio prima, già a partire dal 1905, subito a ridosso di Madama Butterfly. Tuttavia, sia questo progetto sia quello d'una "fantomatica" Maria Antonietta (che, come si sa, non fu mai realizzata) vengono per il momento accantonati in favore della Fanciulla del West (1910). La fantasia pucciniana è rivisitata dall'immagine d'un possibile "trittico" nel 1913, proprio mentre proseguono - gli incontri con Gabriele D'Annunzio per una possibile Crociata dei fanciulli...... Infatti, proprio nel febbraio di quello stesso anno Puccini è ripreso dall'urgenza del "trittico": immediatamente avvia il lavoro sul primo dei libretti che viene tratto da La Houppelande, un atto unico, piuttosto grandguignolesco, di Didier Gold, cui il compositore aveva assistito, pochi mesi prima, in un teatro parigino: sarà Il tabarro, abilmente ridotto a libretto da Giuseppe Adami.

  • Puccini's Gianni Schicchi
    Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi - A survey by Ralph Moore Having already surveyed the first two operas in Puccini’s triptych Il trittico, I conclude with the last instalment, Gianni Schicchi. There are nearly fifty recordings if live recordings are counted but despite the claim on the Wikipedia that it “has been widely recorded”, it enjoys no more studio recordings than its two companion pieces. I survey below eleven, consisting of all nine studio accounts plus two mono radio broadcasts all in Italian; I am not considering any live recordings or those in German, as the average listener will want to hear the original text in good sound. The plot may be based on a cautionary tale from Dante’s Inferno about Schicchi’s damnation for testamentary falsification but its comic treatment by librettist Giovacchino Forzano, in the commedia dell'arte tradition, makes it a suitably cheery conclusion to a highly diverse operatic evening consisting of a sequence which begins with a gloomy, violent melodrama, moves on to a heart-rending tear-jerker and ends with this high farce. It is still genuinely funny and doubtless the advent of surtitles has enhanced its accessibility to non-Italian audiences, just as non-Italian speakers need a libretto to appreciate it fully when listening. This was Puccini’s only comic opera and satirises the timeless theme of the feigned grief and greed of potential heirs. The starring role is that of the resourceful arch-schemer and cunning impostor Gianni Schicchi but the contributions of both the soprano and tenor, although comparatively small, are important, as each has a famous, set piece aria, and for that reason neither part can be under-cast.

  • Opera and Society in Italy and France from Monteverdi to Bourdieu (Cambridge Studies in Opera)
    10 Fascism and the operatic unconscious Michael P. Steinberg and Suzanne Stewart-Steinberg Thisessayunfoldsfromaninitialworkinghypothesisabouttheabsence of a discursive unconscious from pre-unification Italian cultural history in general, and from its operatic history in particular. The sense of an Italian national culture evolves with the energies of the Risorgimento: the resurgence of Italy as a modern nation, which achieved political success with unification in the decade of the 1860s. In this light, the Risorgimento might be understood as a discourse of the ego. Its equa- tion of subjectivity with desire, emotional excess, and cultural-political subversionfoundconsciousarticulationandrepresentationintheoper- atic tradition. This energy encountered its most convincing voice in Verdi’s operas and operatic style. No matter what his personal politics and commit- ments may have been, his operatic style fused with the Risorgimento as assertions of the ego, where inner desire and social conflict appeared as realities fully understood, inhabited, and expressed. This fusion occurred at the level of the works themselves, their musical texture, and the psychological and musical texture of their characters. Individ- ual and collective identities – embattled lovers, outsiders, and heroes – pursue their causes against outside, foreign, or superannuated antag- onists. Through the decade of the two unifications (1860–1870), how- ever, this cluster began to break apart. As a result, the Risorgimento, the invention of national culture, and its project of “making Italians” opened a space of anxiety about the freedom and enslavement of the national ego. Italian thinkers now found their national project to be belated and ill prepared, without adequate traditions of liberalism and romanticism. They worried that Italy had been born to an anxiety of its own hollowness, and they themselves were incapable of finding a way out of it.
