The premiere of Otello, Giuseppe Verdi's only new opera for over a
decade, was a much-anticipated event in Milan in February 1887, and
musical talents from all over Europe had vied for the chance to be
part of it. An American author and former opera singer, Blanche
Roosevelt (1853 98) took an assignment as a special correspondent
in Milan during the weeks surrounding the opera's premiere at La
Scala. She was well connected in the artistic community and
personally acquainted with Verdi himself, and her dispatches paint
an informed and vivid picture of the city and its musical and
literary scene in the late 1880s. Published in 1887, along with a
short biography of Verdi, anecdotes, illustrations, and
reminiscences of conversations with the composer, these writings
will appeal to both music scholars and opera lovers.
