Puccini: Love or Hate?

Who could ever hate the music of Puccini? Yet there was a moment in the history of music when a handful of adventurous Italian composers in their early thirties decided to throw him down the gauntlet. Objective: to give new impetus to Italian instrumental music.
In the year of its centenary, Trame Sonore, faithful to its nature as a chamber festival, looks at Giacomo Puccini from an original and amused perspective, comparing him with the Italian cultural climate of the time, which was not always favorable to him. To close a circle and demonstrate that in the end, opposites attract even in music.
