Bruno Prevedi (December 21, 1928 in Revere, (Mantua) – January 12, 1988 in Milan) was an Italian tenor, particularly associated with the Italian repertory.
Life and career
Prevedi studied in Mantua with Alberto Sorenisa, and in Milan with Vladimiro Badiali. He made his debut as a baritone in 1958, as Tonio, but quickly retrained himself as a tenor, and made a second debut in 1959, as Turiddu, again at the Teatro Nuovo in Milan.
He sang widely in Italy, and made his debut at La Scala in 1962, in Pizzetti's Debora e Jaele. He also appeared in Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, London, Buenos Aires. He played the role of Pollione in the opera Norma by Vincenzo Bellini in the Gran Teatro del Liceo in Barcelona during the winter season 1962-1963 (I Festival de Festivales de Opera).
Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini (Italian:[ˈdʒaːkomo putˈtʃiːni]; 22 December 1858– 29 November 1924) was an Italian composer whose operas are among the important operas played as standards.
Puccini has been called "the greatest composer of Italian opera after Verdi". While his early work was rooted in traditional late-19th-century romantic Italian opera, he successfully developed his work in the realistic verismo style, of which he became one of the leading exponents.
Family and education
Puccini was born Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini in Lucca in Tuscany, in 1858. He was one of nine children of Michele Puccini and Albina Magi. The Puccini family was established in Lucca as a local musical dynasty by Puccini's great-great grandfather – also named Giacomo (1712–1781). This first Giacomo Puccini was maestro di cappella of the Cattedrale di San Martino in Lucca. He was succeeded in this position by his son, Antonio Puccini, and then by Antonio's son Domenico, and Domenico's son Michele (father of the subject of this article). Each of these men studied music at Bologna, and some took additional musical studies elsewhere. Domenico Puccini studied for a time under Giovanni Paisiello. Each composed music for the church. In addition, Domenico composed several operas, and Michele composed one opera. Puccini's father Michele enjoyed a reputation throughout northern Italy, and his funeral was an occasion of public mourning, at which the then-famed composer Giovanni Pacini conducted a Requiem.
Giacomo Puccini ("senior") (1712-1781) was an 18th-century Italian composer who lived and worked primarily in Lucca, Tuscany. He was the first of five generations of composers, the most famous of whom was his great-great-grandson, the opera composer Giacomo Puccini.
Career
Puccini studied in Bologna under Giuseppe Carretti, who was maestro di cappella at Bologna's San Petronio Basilica. In Bologna Puccini became friends with Padre Martini. After returning to Lucca in 1739, he served as organist in the cathedral and later Maestro di Cappella to the Most Serene Republic. Puccini belonged to the Accademia Filarmonica of Bologna and was a skilled teacher.
His musical style incorporated elements of both the Baroque and early Classic periods. Puccini was known as an excellent organist. He wrote many dramatic and sacred works, including a Te Deum for four voices and instruments, a Domine for four voices, masses, and psalm settings. Between 1733 and 1780, Puccini wrote 31 servizi ecclesiastici for the annual Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Festa della Esaltazione della Santa Croce). Some of Puccini's works, including a processional motet in eight voices, continued to be performed into at least the early 19th Century. A Requiem for eight voices by Puccini was performed at the Vienna Musical Exposition of 1892, together with music by his son Antonio, grandson Domenico, and great-grandson Michele.

Rodolfo Mimì è tanto malata! Ogni dì più declina. La povera piccina è condannata! Marcello Mimì? Mimì Che vuol dire? Rodolfo Una terribile tosse l'esil petto le scuote e già le smunte gote di sangue ha rosse... Marcello Povera Mimì! Mimì Ahimè, morire! Rodolfo La mia stanza è una tana squallida il fuoco ho spento. V'entra e l'aggira il vento di tramontana. Essa canta e sorride e il rimorso m'assale. Me, cagion del fatale mal che l'uccide! Marcello Che far dunque? Mimì O mia vita! Translation: Mimì is so sick! Every day she gets worse. The poor little thing Is doomed! He moves out of Mimì's earshot Mimì? She moves closer to them. What does he mean? A terrible cough Shakes her slender breast, And yet her pale cheeks Are flushed… Marcello is upset, knowing Mimì can hear. Poor Mimì! Weeping Alas – to die! My room is a squalid hole… I've used up the fire The north wind enters there And whirls around. She sings and smiles, And remorse attacks me I am the cause of the fatal Illness that is killing her. What to do, then? O my life!
