Musically the opera showed clear evidence of Puccini's growing mastery of tuneful lyricism and his ability to Rn~~t~u~ n evoke a sense of place. The story of a doomed heroine was one that Puccini would return to with even greater success in La Bohf?me (1896), Tosca (1900) and Madama Butterfly (1904). The New York premiere in 1907 featured Lina Cavalieri, Enrico Caruso and Antonio Scotti in the cast, and Puccini himself in the audience, but fell out of the repertoire in between 1929 and 1949. When a new Met production of Manon Lescaut was mounted in 1949 it featured Swedish t enor Jussi Bjbrllng as Des Grieux. Bjbrling learned only two new roles after branching out from his operatic home at the Royal Swedish Opera in the lat e 1930s. One was Don manon licia albanese Carlo, which opened Rudolf Bing's tenure as general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in November 1950, the other was Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut. Over ten years, between 1949 and 1959, Bjbrling sang the role just 25 times, but we have no less than four des grieux Jussi bjbrling complete recordings of him in this opera: the Met's first ever broadcast of the opera in 1949, a studio recording in 1954, this Met broadcast from 1956, and a bi-lingual broadcast from Stockholm in 1959.

    Synopsis Rome, mid-19th century Act I scene 1 Don Pasquale’s house scene 2 Norina’s terrace Act II Don Pasquale’s house Act III scene 1 Don Pasquale’s house scene 2 Don Pasquale’s garden Act I The old bachelor Don Pasquale plans to marry in order to punish his rebellious nephew, Ernesto, who is in love with the young widow Norina. Pasquale wants an heir so he can cut the young man off without a penny. He consults Dr. Malatesta, who suggests as a bride his own beautiful younger sister. Feeling rejuvenated, the delighted Pasquale asks Malatesta to arrange a meeting at once. When Ernesto arrives and again refuses to marry a woman of his uncle’s choice, Pasquale not only tells him that he will have to leave the house, but also informs his nephew of his own marriage plans. With no inheritance, Ernesto sees his dreams evaporating. To make matters worse, he learns that his friend Malatesta has arranged Pasquale’s marriage. On her terrace, Norina laughs over a silly romantic story she’s reading. She is certain of her own ability to charm a man. Malatesta arrives. He is in fact plotting on her and Ernesto’s behalf and explains his plan: Norina is to impersonate his (nonexistent) sister, marry Pasquale in a mock ceremony, and drive him to such desperation that he will be at their mercy. Norina is eager to play the role if it will help her and Ernesto be together. Act II Ernesto, who knows nothing of Malatesta’s scheme, is desperate about the apparent loss of Norina and imagines his future as an exile.

  • Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana
    Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana A survey of the major studio recordings in Italian by Ralph Moore Cavalleria rusticana is the slightly elder brother of another classic, Pagliacci; the two operas are almost invariably paired for an evening’s entertainment and have a great deal in common. Together, “Cav ’n’ Pag” are credited with being in the vanguard of the verismo movement which changed the face of Italian opera for ever. Cavalleria isn’t quite as violent, insofar as Pagliacci culminates in two on-stage murders, whereas the demise of the anti-hero Turiddù, although it is once again the result of a stabbing, occurs off-stage and is announced to that audience via the blood-curdling scream of a horrified spectator, “Hanno ammazzato compare Turiddù!”(“Friend Turiddù’s been murdered!”). It is perhaps, even more melodic and possessed of an even more beautiful Intermezzo than Pagliacci, but both depict the lives of southern Italian “everyday country folk” in the Mezzogiorno going to church, drinking and celebrating, loving and quarrelling – and both have adultery as the spur to the plotline. However, the importance of the soprano and tenor lead roles is reversed: in Pagliacci, Nedda’s personality is fairly sketchily drawn and the focus is more upon Canio as a jealous husband – justifiably as it turns out - whereas in Cavalleria, Santuzza takes central stage. Nor is there a real villain as such in Cavalleria - unless it is Turiddù himself, who seduces and abandons one woman, only to move on to an affair with another, married woman. The preservation of the classical dramatic unities of time, place and action, in combination with ordinariness of the characters and the words they speak, consolidates the opera’s veristic nature.
