(Sung in Italian with Dicapotitles)
Puccini's second
opera receives its American staged premire. Comissioned
for La Scala after the success of his first opera, Le Villi, Edgar was
to provide a turning point in Puccini's career. The beginning signs of
the master opera composer who would go on to write the most beloved operas
of all time are evident. The third act Requiem contains some of the composers
most beautiful music. In fact, it was this music that was chosen by Toscanini
to be performed at the composers funeral. Don't miss this once in a lifetime
opportunity.
