Full Score/Partitura-Tosca was first performed in Rome at the Teatro Costanzi on 14 January 1900. Based on a play by Vincent Sardou the libretto unfolds in an effective rhetoric that is both direct and decidedly dramatic. The characters and the action seem embossedwith touches of polished emotional pliancy reinforced by the orchestration and vocal style of the music. But the music is also responsible for the more subtle indirect psychological shading to this context of basic contrasts. Thus we glimpse theclear outlines of generous self-denial beguiled dreams listlessness fierceness - and death which with no less precision brings all things mercilessly to their end.On the cover: Tosca and Cavaradossi on the rampart of Castel Sant’Angelo; watercolor by Leopoldo Metlicovitz for a series of postcards 1900.

Contents include works by Monti Simonetti Pizzetti and Castelnuovo-Tedesco.

Testo Cantato In Italiano-Inglese- Full Vocal score of Giacomo Puccini's favourite opera Madame Butterfly . With Italian lyrics and synopsis in Italian English French and German. The definitive version which is reflected in this edition was produced in 1906 at the Opéra Comique in Paris and published by Ricordi the following year. Puccini thus invested considerable effort into the creation of this his favorite opera—and into shaping the fate of theheroine herself a manifestation of the extremes of patient waiting and steadfast love. The music is a complete and masterful expression of the pity and disillusionment that surround the figure of Cio-Cio-San: her absolute butmisguided hope her pathetic pretence in the name of love her miserable demise.

Vocal Score / Softcover-In a letter of 2 January 1851 Verdi suggested for the first time Antonio Garcia Gutierrez play El Trovador as a possible subject for his new Opera: 'It seems to me very beautiful imaginative and full of strong situations'. Once he had settled on the subject the composer immediately began looking for a theater in which to produce the Opera and after protracted negotiations he decided to stage Il Trovatore in Rome. The premiere occurred on 19 January 1853 at the Teatro Apollo and was an enormous success. The appreciation of the new work increased from performance to performance. The third performance was the last the composer was contractuallyobliged to attend: at the end of the evening the audience presented Verdi with two laurel wreaths. Verdi 's account of the performances contained in a letter to his friend Clarina Maffei was eloquent: 'They say that this Opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But ultimetley in life everything is death! What exists?...' Notwithstanding Verdi 's pessimism Il Trovatore circulated rapidly. In fact no other Opera of Verdi except 'Ernani' enjoyed such instant and widespread success.
