| Abstract | Born in 1911, Gian Carlo Menotti created the first television opera (Amahl and the Night Visitors), made opera successful on Broadway while winning two Pulitzer Prizes (The Consul and The Saint of Bleecker Street), and founded the Spoleto Festivals in Italy and the United States. Menotti has had a magnificent career: 21 of his operas and stage works have been filmed, taped or telecast. Each chapter of this reference work covers one opera or stage work and includes a history of the work, a description of its primary screen adaptation, and a chronological listing of screen and audio versions with cast and credits. Additional chapters are devoted to Menotti's screen biographies and screen collaborators, the Spoleto Festivals, and his unfilmed operas. An annotated bibliography completes the guide. |
