Giacomo Puccini

    22. prosinec 1858 – 29. listopad 1924

    Tento italský skladatel, zosobňující pátou generaci hudebníků ve své rodině, se po studiích hudby a počátečních zkušenostech jako varhaník rozhodl stát operním skladatelem po zhlédnutí Verdiho "Aidy". Jeho studia na milánské konzervatoři u Bazziniho a Ponchielliho položila základy jeho pozoruhodné kariéry. Jeho opery, známé svou vášní a silnými melodiemi, se vyznačují dramatickým napětím a emocionální hloubkou, často zkoumají témata lásky, ztráty a osudu. Jeho dílo, které se vyznačuje mistrovským zvládnutím hudební dramaturgie a orchestrace, zanechalo nesmazatelnou stopu v historii opery a dodnes oslovuje posluchače po celém světě.
