SUMMARY:Puccini and the Twilight of The Operatic Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:Born in Lucca\, Italy and steeped in operatic tradition\, Giacomo Puccini created operas that showcased a brilliance that made him a worthy successor to Verdi. In his talk\, Professor Gil Harel will analyze the celebrated opera Madama Butterfly (1904)\, one of Puccini’s most famous works. The Italian opera tells the story of B.F. Pinkerton (American) who marries Cio-Cio-san (Japanese). The result is a sublime score filled with worldly influences\, pentatonic music\, and rich melodies that frame a heartbreaking story of love\, betrayal\, and hope smashed asunder.\nGil Harel (PhD\, Brandeis University) is an award-winning musicologist and composer whose interests include styles ranging from western art music to contemporary musical theater. He is Full Professor of Music at CT State Naugatuck Valley\, where he conducts the college chorale\, a cappella ensemble\, teaches music history and theory\, and serves as musical director of theater productions. \n
