Opera in the 20th century

The history of twentieth-century opera. 1917

The war is felt everywhere and the number of productions in opera land drops heavily. But there are some rays of hope. Hans Pfitzer returns in full after his long absence with his ‘Palestrina’ and Puccini presents his ‘La rondine’  which in hindsight isn’t his best work.

In this episode, parts of:

• Henry Kimball Hadley- Azora, the Daughter of Montezuma
• Victor Herbert-Eileen
• Alexander von Zemlinsky- Eine florentinische Tragödie
• Pietro Mascagni- Lodoletta
• Hans Pfitzner- Palestrina
Other opera and operetta productions from 1917 are:

•  Manuel Penella- The last españolada
•  Reginald de Koven- The Canterbury Pilgrims
