As one might expect, familiar strains from Chopin’s nocturnes and études are interwoven throughout, offering moments of lyrical charm within a structure that lacks the daring of its contemporaries. Premiering the same year as \u003ci\u003eTosca\u003c\/i\u003e, the work often feels curiously quaint by comparison. Yet this restraint allows for a tenor showcase, and in \u003cb\u003eFerruccio Tagliavini\u003c\/b\u003e, the opera finds an ideal interpreter. Tagliavini’s golden-hued tenor lends warmth and credibility to a role that, for all its historical liberties, demands vocal elegance and emotional clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe performance here is significantly cut, but it remains a noteworthy document of a composer whose voice, though overshadowed by Puccini, retains a distinct and lyrical individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"mobile-only-hr\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Right Column: Cast and Details --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eCAST\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChopin – \u003cstrong\u003eFerruccio Tagliavini\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlora – \u003cstrong\u003ePia Tassinari\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStella – \u003cstrong\u003eMaria de Sá Earp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelio – \u003cstrong\u003ePaulo Fortes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUn frate – \u003cstrong\u003eAmerico Basso\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePianista – \u003cstrong\u003eMaria E. de Oliveira\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation: \u003cstrong\u003eRio de Janeiro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: \u003cstrong\u003eSeptember 13, 1949\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConductor: \u003cstrong\u003eEmidio Tieri\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue Number: \u003cstrong\u003eOD 12246-1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: \u003cstrong\u003eOpera Depot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Discs: \u003cstrong\u003e1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Mono\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eNOTE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last minute of the opera is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Opera Depot","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50657166885185,"sku":"12246-1","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":50657166917953,"sku":"MP3 12246-1","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC","offer_id":50657166950721,"sku":"FLAC 12246-1","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC UPGRADE","offer_id":52080098869569,"sku":"FLACUP 12246-1","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/9583\/files\/12246-1front.jpg?v=1753377400"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/9583\/collections\/Orefice-Giacomo.png?v=1788903867","url":"https:\/\/operadepot.com\/collections\/orefice-giacomo.oembed","provider":"Opera Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
