" I Compagnacci "

Giulio Gatti-Casazza, impresario of the Metropolitan Opera House, cabled from Milan that he has obtained producing rights for I Compagnacci, a new one-act opera by the Italian composer, Primi Ricitelli, young pupil of Mascagni. The first performance of the work was given at the Costanzi Theatre in Rome in April. The opera will be performed at the Metropolitan next season as a companion piece with Laparra's La Habanera.
