Description

Zanetto And Cavalleria Rusticana: Italian Librettos (1902) is a book that contains two Italian librettos written by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti. The first libretto, Zanetto, tells the story of a young minstrel who falls in love with a courtesan named Silvia. The second libretto, Cavalleria Rusticana, is a one-act opera that portrays the events leading up to a tragic duel between two men over a woman they both love. The librettos are written in Italian and are accompanied by English translations, making them accessible to readers who do not speak Italian. The book provides a fascinating insight into Italian opera of the early 20th century and is a valuable resource for students of music, literature, and Italian language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
