#Umberto Giordano

[opera-shitpost]

Literally the one thing Indiana Jones (Spielberg, 1981) and Fedora (Giordano, 1898) have in common, besides the important presence of a Fedora of some sort, is the important, plot-relevant presence of a precious, dangerous ancient bejeweled artifact of some sort.

Remembering Umberto Giordano on his birthday: b. August 28, 1867, Foggia, Italy d. November 12, 1948, Milan, Italy

Umberto Giordano was trained as a musician in Naples and achieved his first great success in Milan in 1896 with the opera Andrea Chénier. His last completed opera, Il rè, was staged in Milan in 1929. In style his music bears some resemblance to that of Puccini or, still more, to that of Leoncavallo.

The opera Andrea Chénier deals with the fate of the poet of that name in the French Revolution, to which he finally fell a victim, joined in death by his beloved Madeleine. Arias from the work are popular in recital, including the tenor arias ‘Un dì all’azzurro spazio’, ‘Si, fui soldato’ and ‘Come un bel dì di maggio’, and the soprano aria ‘La mamma morta’. The tenor aria ‘Amor ti vieta’, from the less successful opera Fedora, staged in 1898, is popular with singers.

La morte dei segretari Frausin e Gigante provocherà, all’interno del partito comunista triestino, l’allontanamento dal CLN italiano per passare sotto il comando sloveno

Per cui, con le dimissioni del re, e con l’avanzata dell’Armata Rossa in Bulgaria e in Romania (che avevano firmato un armistizio con le forze sovietiche), Tito viaggiò segretamente in aereo, all’insaputa degli inglesi, per arrivare a Mosca per chiedere aiuti militari a Stalin e addestrare le sue truppe in modo da poter combattere efficacemente i tedeschi e cacciarli dalla Jugoslavia. Stalin…
