Info for I Rantzau (Remastered)

After the performances of Cavalleria rusticana and L’Amico Fritz, staged by the C.E.L. Theatre of Livorno in the opera seasons of 1990 and 1991, in honour of their centenary, in 1992 it falls the hundredth anniversary of I Rantzau (The Rantzau Family), chronologically the third opera by the Livornese composer Pietro Mascagni. The idea of staging this opera once again after its first performance in Florence in November of 1892, and in doing so raising it again from almost complete oblivion (its last performance goes back to the end of last century ), responds to a precise cultural intention, without bowing down to the current fashion of a performance as purely a means of celebration. It fact we mantain that the theatre of Mascagni has been categorised under one single title for too long for it to be recognised and appreciated properly. Therefore we wish to create conditions which would favour its full and convincing critical restaging. ...

I Rantzau should have been Pietro Mascagni’s “second opera”. The composer had known the original theatrical work by Erckrnann and Chatrian (based, like L’Amico Fritz, on a novel already in existence) since the time of Cavalleria. It had been an authentic coup defoudre. The story of two brothers who were divided by a deep hatred connected with old hereditary quarrels wasset amidst the common life of a German village. This story transferred the sanguinary passionate spirit of his “first opera” into a turbid and troubled situation of family conflicts in a setting of vaguely Nordic flavour, which was fairly similar to another of Mascagni’s works, namely Guglielmo Ratcliff which, though not yet finished, was already completely outlined in the mind of its author. ...
