GIACOMO PUCCINI (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Giacomo PucciniBut out Of something dead, something very much alive was destined to develop. The Old Greek drama was not to be resuscitated by a sort of transfusion of blood - music, the newest and most emotional of the arts, being the medium to carry life into the structure.
