used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Tosca," one of Puccini's greatest and most popular operas, is a
supreme example of music's power to enthrall the audience. In his
introductory essay to this guide, Bernard Williams discusses the
enduring quality of its appeal. Bernard Keeffe, in his article,
analyzes different aspects of the score, noting Puccini's special
genius for orchestration and the subtle effects that give the opera
its irresistible vitality, while Stuart Woolfe's survey of the
historical background reveals its political and nationalistic
undertones. Enriched by 25 iconic archive photographs, a detailed
thematic analysis, the original libretto with the facing literal
translation, and a section containing up-to-date discographical and
bibliographical information, this guide will prove an invaluable
companion for opera-goers and anyone wanting to delve deeper into
the genesis, history, and significance of Puccini's work.

Safe within their cocoons, butterflies only become vulnerable when
they emerge to enchant the world with their beauty. "Madama
Butterfly" has been breaking hearts for over a century with its
tragic tale of an innocent Japanese girl who abandons her faith and
her family to marry an American naval lieutenant. Giacomo Puccini
created a dozen operas, many of them rooted in his fascination with
exotic lands and foreign cultures. Inspired by a London performance
of one-act play by American playwright David Belasco, the composer
developed an emotionally charged musical score to accompany this
tale of devotion, tradition, and sacrifice.
The opera's most famous aria, "Un bel di vedremo" ("One beautiful
day, we will see"), in which the heroine professes her faith in her
lover, ranks among the most popular works in the soprano
repertoire. "Dovunque al mondo" ("Throughout the world")
characterizes Butterfly's American officer with a musical theme
based on "The Star Spangled Banner." Other highlights include the
endings of each of the three acts: the extended love duet
"Vogliatemi bene" ("Love me, please."); the wordless beauty of
"Coro a bocca chiusa," ("Humming Chorus"); and the climactic aria
"Con onor muore" ("To die with honor"). This authoritative 1906
edition of one the world's most beloved operas features the
original Italian lyrics.
Authoritative Italian edition of one of the world's most beloved operas. Sturdy, attractive volume reprints every note of Puccini's masterpiece, based on Murger's novel, Scenes de la vie de Boheme. English translations of list of characters and instruments and the table of contents.

Offprinted from the anthology Opera Choruses, this is a short piece
from Madama Butterfly. It is set for ST and piano or orchestra.
Puccini's songs were written as occasional pieces: student works,
contributions to periodicals, salon pieces for friends. Some
passages pre-echo, or were borrowed for, his operas, and they throw
fascinating light on his compositional development. The 15 songs
are presented here with English translations, notes on chronology,
and a detailed introduction. Most are suitable for either male or
female performers.
