Mascagni's Guglielmo Ratcliff Intermezzo

Guglielmo Ratcliff is an Opera by Pietro Mascagni in four acts, it fell out of favor with the modern operatic repertoire due mostly to the fact that Mascagni was well known for his opera Cavalleria Rusticana, this combined with the fact that this particular opera contained one of the most difficult tenor roles ever put to the operatic stage, makes it rather obscure nowadays.

Con questa musica, rivivo i miei trascorsi bandistici di gioventù 💕🎶 e sogno .. grande Mascagni.

While not popular, this beautiful opera has been revived several times since 1963 and several performances are available on RUclips and CD, although all available performances are heavily cut. The most satisfying is a 1963 concert performance from RAI Rome which has been available for many years. Ratcliff remained Mascagni's own favorite of his 16 stage works, although he considered Parisina his greatest achievement.
