Ragazzi

In his commentary on the original edition, Enrico Girardi highlights how music, more than any other art form, gives voice to the deepest human emotions. Embracing this elevated vision of opera, Carlo Scheggia’s work remains faithful to the original libretto while softening the darker elements to emphasize the fairy-tale tone and the noble feelings of love and sacrifice. Young readers of this English version will find the same poetic and respectful touch.
