Puccini: a concise biography
GIACOMO PUCCINI 1858 - 1924
Puccini was born in the charming old town of Lucca in Tuscany, Italy. His family had been town musicians stretching back over several generations. He was educated into music as a matter of course and the town fathers expected him to succeed to the family tradition. His astonishing career took him to the heights of world class opera and the DVD traces his life and his unusual work patterns. Today Puccini's operas are more popular than ever and are a staple part of the repertoire of every opera house. The programme ends with a brief overview of Puccini's works.
