Show Notes
Welcome back to Between the Barlines! We are almost done with our episodes addressing opera in the 19th century. Today’s episode is one that I have been looking forward to the most, because as of last year, Giacomo Puccini broke into my top five favorite composers, specifically because of his operas Tosca and Madama Butterfly that we did at Pittsburgh Opera. I’m really excited to talk to you about him today and encourage you to take a listen to some of the operas listed in the episode notes for an extended treat. In this episode, we will also discuss the verismo style of Italian opera.
