"La Bohème, I believe, as it does not leave a great impression on the souls of the listeners, will not leave a great trace in the history of our lyric theater, and it will be well if the author, considering it (if I may use the expression) a momentary error, continues vigorously along the right path, and persuades himself that this was a brief deviation in the path of art."
(C. Bersezio, La Stampa, Turin February 23, 1896).

The semifinals of the prestigious Paganini violin competition, which will take place in 2013, will include a mandatory piece written by Giovanni Allevi in the semifinals.

Define "good" ... (damn me for giving you rope...)

Given that one would need to be from that time to understand the value of a critique, and especially in relation to the perceptive sphere and that period

It was just a general adjective to say that the tenor joke seemed like something said out of prejudice... can you actually argue that if an opera is performed continuously, it is "good"? Do we mean valid? Do we mean what "thing" is positive?
