Book excerpt: "Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, a one-act opera forming part of his trilogy called Il Trittico, received its world premiere in New York on December 14, 1918. Schicchi is a character that Dante Alighieri, approximately six hundred years earlier, condemned to Hell in his Commedia, more precisely in Canto XXX of the Inferno, for having impersonated the deceased Buoso Donati and successfully falsified the latter's will. Surprisingly, Puccini's Gianni Schicchi is a comedy with a happy ending and the impersonator Schicchi, one of Dante's worst sinners, becomes a hero. Why did Puccini, known to be a cosmopolitan xenophile, choose Dante at this particular time? In fact, it is Puccini's only opera based on an Italian source and the only opera buffa or comedy in his entire oeuvre. Moreover, if Dante was indeed the inspiration for his Gianni Schicchi, why did Puccini not respect the quintessence of Inferno XXX? Unfortunately, scholarly works that directly address these issues are scarce. With a view to finding answers to the aforementioned questions, the first chapter deals with the historical aspects from the biographical, social, political and artistic points of view. Then, the following chapter focuses on the theme of Gianni Schicchi, i.e. the close reading of the opera's libretto taking into consideration its musicality and in comparison with Dante's severe treatment of Schicchi. By then, it becomes clear that: if Gianni Schicchi is a comedy, it is a black comedy reflecting Puccini's Nihilism and sarcasm; whereas Dante's judgment was based on a strict and rigid interpretation of Thomas Aquinas's theology and his political vision sustaining the aristocracy, Puccini approached Schicchi more humanly and democratically; and, Puccini thus challenged Dante's ideological position. In sum, the opera Gianni Schicchi represents Puccini's criticism of social injustice and hope for a better society without class struggle. This preliminary conclusion, however, is supported solely by circumstantial evidences. In order to substantiate and make it worthy as the final conclusion, the final chapter discusses Puccini's other operas to find a coherent flow of the theme as well as the question of authorship. Doing so, it becomes evident that the theme of social injustice constitutes the thread throughout his entire oeuvre. " --

Download or read book Il Trittico Turandot and Puccini s Late Style written by Andrew Davis and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giacomo Puccini is one of the most frequently performed and best loved of all operatic composers. In Il Trittico, Turandot, and Puccini's Late Style, Andrew Davis takes on the subject of Puccini's last two works to better understand how the composer creates meaning through the juxtaposition of the conventional and the unfamiliar -- situating Puccini in past operatic traditions and modern European musical theater. Davis asserts that hearing Puccini's late works within the context of la solita forma allows listeners to interpret the composer's expressive strategies. He examines Puccini's compositional language, with insightful analyses of melody, orchestration, harmony, voice-leading, and rhythm and meter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924) is the world's most frequently performed operatic composer, yet he is only beginning to receive serious scholarly attention. In Giacomo Puccini and His World, an international roster of music specialists, several writing on Puccini for the first time, offers a variety of new critical perspectives on the composer and his works. Containing discussions of all of Puccini’s operas from Manon Lescaut (1893) to Turandot (1926), this volume aims to move beyond clichés of the composer as a Romantic epigone and to resituate him at the heart of early twentieth-century musical modernity. This collection’s essays explore Puccini’s engagement with spoken theater and operetta, and with new technologies like photography and cinema. Other essays consider the philosophical problems raised by "realist" opera, discuss the composer’s place in a variety of cosmopolitan formations, and reevaluate Puccini’s orientalism and his complex interactions with the Italian fascist state. A rich array of primary source material, including previously unpublished letters and documents, provides vital information on Puccini’s interactions with singers, conductors, and stage directors, and on the early reception of the verismo movement. Excerpts from Fausto Torrefranca’s notorious Giacomo Puccini and International Opera, perhaps the most vicious diatribe ever directed against the composer, appear here in English for the first time. The contributors are Micaela Baranello, Leon Botstein, Alessandra Campana, Delia Casadei, Ben Earle, Elaine Fitz Gibbon, Walter Frisch, Michele Girardi, Arthur Groos, Steven Huebner, Ellen Lockhart, Christopher Morris, Arman Schwartz, Emanuele Senici, and Alexandra Wilson.
