Summary

Giacomo Puccini succeeded Verdi as the best loved opera composer of his time. He lived a meager existence during his tenure as student at the Milan Conservatory, but all that ended after the success of his first opera produced shortly after he graduated. His sense of both theater and realism helped create lasting appeal for his works. For more information on this composer, consult the web resources below.
