Carlo Gozzi: A Life in 18th Century Venetian Theater, an Afterlife in Opera


Overview

"Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806) is best-known for his plays that have been adapted into opera librettos. Puccini's final opera, ""Turandot"", was based on a play by Gozzi. Prokofiev's ""The Love of Three Oranges"" is based on a Gozzi play. Richard Wagner's first opera, ""Die Feen"", is based on Gozzi's ""La Donna Serpente"". Mozart's ""The Magic Flute"" contains many elements that are similar to Gozzi's plays. This is a biography of Carlo Gozzi. He is well-known for reviving commedia dell'arte, an ancient form of Italian improvisational theatre that had fallen out of favour before his time."
