Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924)
Bio
Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini was born in Lucca. His great-great-grandfather was the maestro di cappella of the Cattedrale di San Martino. The position was passed down through several generations of Puccinis. He was trained by his family and then studied at the Milan Conservatory. He produced a large collection of operas including the enormously famous La bohème, Madama Butterfly, and his final opera Turandot. He is perhaps the most successful opera composer of all time.
