While Pietro Mascagni achieved his greatest success with his very first opera, the violent and impassioned Cavalleria Rusticana, his second opera L'Amico Fritz, composed in 1891, was also highly acclaimed in its day.
That score continues to hold the stage in Italy but has largely disappeared from the international operatic repertoire. Miami Lyric Opera, which presented the opera in 2011, revived their production Saturday night at Miami Beach's Colony Theater.
We the Italians is a company that in 10 years has become a key relational hub between Italy and the community of the more than 20 million Italian Americans in the United States. We have built a set of information channels that monthly reaches 3 million Italian Americans.
We have also consolidated an unparalleled geographical presence, structuring a network of more than 80 Ambassadors in all the Italian regions, across all 50 American states, plus ten focused on specific themes.
