Testo Cantato In Italiano-Inglese-The Vocal Score for Giacomo Puccini's wonderful opera Manon Lescaut. With this work Puccini confirmed his reputation and novel conception of melodrama. Puccini was set to be the successor in fame and renown to Verdi and with Manon Lescaut he rocketed to equal levels of success. To produce this level of attention the opera was staged in Turin rather than Milan and was staged just before Verdi's own opera ensuring all attention fell on Manon Lescaut instead. The theme and the melody take precedence over the lyrics inthis tragic drama of love between two humans.

Dramma lirico in quattro atti-Manon Lescaut is the fi rst volume of the series ?The operas of Giacomo Puccini? - Critical Edition - in collaboration with Archivio storico Ricordi and Fondazione Simonetta Puccini. It makes available the three main versions of the opera thathave survived in various sources: an 1893 version with the original Act I finale the fi rst version of Manon?s Act IV aria and the uncut version of the fi nal duet in Act IV; a ?midcareer? version imagined by Puccini in the fi rst decade of thenew century when he sanctioned the almost complete omission of Manon?s Act IV aria; and fi nally the last version that Puccini lived to approve with Manon?saria restored albeit with a revised literary text. The volume is introduced by a preface to the Puccini Critical Edition an historical introduction a detailed description of the opera?s many sources and a lengthy critical commentary whichdiscusses numerous problematic details in the musical text.

Giacomo Puccini furthered his reputation as one of the leading figures in Italian opera when he composed one of the world's most popular operas 'Madame Butterfly' to a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa based on the book by John L. Long and the drama by David Belasco. The inspiration for the plot came from an American play by David Belasco which captured the composer's immediate interest when he saw it in London. Based on the heartbreak of Madama Butterfly a 15-year-old Japanese girl who abandons her people and her religion in a marriage to Pinkerton a United States Naval Lieutenant and in a conversion to Christianity the work undoubtedly had greater meaning toits American audiences following the occupation of U.S. troops in Asia during the mid- and late-twentieth century. The story of 'Madame Butterfly' also recently inspired Boubill and Schonberg's musical 'Miss Saigon'.This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score in the original Italian with an English translation by John Gutman.
