Puccini's La Boheme (the Dover Opera Libretto Series)

By: Giacomo Puccini

Next to Verdi's Ada, Giacomo Puccini's La Bohme is the most popular opera ever written. Performances of Ada, La Bohme, Carmen, and Don Giovanni ? the four operas most often performed ? constitute approximately 75 percent of the yearly schedule of operas throughout the world. This volume contains everything the opera goer needs to derive full satisfaction from La Bohme except the musical score itself. Most important, it provides the complete text of the Italian libretto, just as it is actually sung; that is, where a singer repeats a phrase several times, each of the repetitions is given here. And facing the Italian text is a completely new translation of the libretto into modern, idiomatic English. In addition to the libretto and English translation, this edition provides a careful, concise summary of the plot of La Bohme and a complete list of the opera's characters. There is also a brief, highly informative introduction by the translator that traces Puccini's masterpiece back to its source in Henry Murger's autobiographical novel La Vie Bohme, illuminating the early history of the opera and its later development. Opera lovers can use this book with their own recordings of the opera, read it before attending a performance, or can easily take it along to the performance itself. Those who have regretted the lack of a good, authentic, readable edition of the Italian libretto of La Bohme, and have complained of the stodginess of existing English translations, will recognize in this book a first-rate aid to the understanding of one of Puccini's most celebrated operas.

Tosca

By: Giacomo Puccini,Giuseppe Giacosa,Luigi Illica

Tosca è un'opera lirica in tre atti di Giacomo Puccini, su libretto di Giuseppe Giacosa e Luigi Illica, una breve storia d'amore e di morte. Nella Roma del 1800 dopo il fallimento della Repubblica Romana, quando lo Stato Pontificio sta catturando i rappresentanti ed i sostenitori della Repubblica, le vite del pittore Mario Cavaradossi e della sua amante Tosca, incrociano Cesare Angelotti, patriota fuggito dalle carceri del Papa. Sulle tracce del fuggiasco c'è il capo della polizia pontificia, barone Scampia che, innamorato di Tosca, approfitta della situazione per conquistare la donna. L'opera drammatica finisce come deve finire una tragedia: muore il fuggiasco, muore il cattivo Scampia per mano di Tosca, muore il pittore ed infine muore Tosca suicida (Aonia edizioni).

Turandot

By: Giacomo Puccini

A Turandot filtered through a modern brain', wrote Puccini, describing his plans to rework the eighteenth-century fable by Carlo Gozzi. According to Mosco Carner, Puccini's last and supreme work is an advanced score which, with an orchestration that reflects contemporaries such as Richard Strauss and Stravinsky as well as genuine Chinese rhythms and harmonies, remains true to the Italian vocal tradition. The musicologist Juergen Maehder analyses of the ending, which Franco Alfano composed from Puccini's sketches. In addition, the great British soprano Dame Eva Turner recalls her experiences of singing the title role, of which she was a legendary interpreter.Contents: The Genesis of the Opera, Mosco Carner; The Score, Mosco Carner; Puccini's 'Turandot': A Fragment, Juergen Maehder; Carlo Gozzi's 'Turandot' and Its Transformation into Puccini's Libretto, John Black; Memories of Performing 'Turandot', Eva Turner; Turandot: Libretto by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni; Turandot: English literal translation by William Weaver

Madama Butterfly/Madam Butterfly

By: Giacomo Puccini

Madama Butterfly is one of the most popular operas of all time, despite its disastrous premiere, after which it was immediately withdrawn and revised. This guide explores how and why the libretto was softened to suit the tastes of European opera-goers, and the different variants are set out, side by side. Professor Jean-Pierre Lehmann introduces the story and shows how the theme of a Japanese girl deserted by a heartless foreigner became a classic. Since John Luther Long's novella - on which the opera was based - is included as well, it is possible to judge how successful Puccini was in catching its essence in his hauntingly beautiful score.Contents: Images of the Orient, John-Pierre Lehmann; Tribulations of a Score, Julian Smith; Madame Butterfly, John Luther Long; Madama Butterfly: Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi lllica after the book by John Luther Long and the play by David Belasco; Madam Butterfly: English version based on that of R.H. Elkin
