¡Ricordi: La Secchia Rapita
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] As the name suggests, the composer of this opera is the third generation head of the Italian music publisher Ricordi. Giovanni I amassed a huge fortune through the publication of works by Donizetti, Bellini, and Verdi, and Tito II further developed the business. Giulio is said to have missed the boom of verismo, but he succeeded in rebuilding his business by discovering Puccini. Puccini placed great trust in him. Giglio himself also dabbled in composing, and three comic operas are still extant. The Stolen Bucket" is based on the 14th century battle between Bologna and Modena, and amusingly depicts the consequences of a defeated Bolognese soldier who steals a bucket from a well. Young Japanese soprano Kaori Yamada also appears in the production.
