Reviews
May 1955
"...altogether likable and spontaneous. Credit for its successful revival
must go to the exceptional cast. Giulietta Simionato, in particular, gave a
passionate and and insinuating interpretation in the trouser role." Franco
Abbiati, Il Corriere della Serra,
May 18, 1955
Anecdotes
The 1955 performances
of Zanetto were staged to
commemorate the tenth anniversary of the great composer's death. Originally
the more familiar L'aminco Fritz was
on the bill with Cavalleria but this
was replaced with Zanetto which had
not been performed since 1930 and which Simionato was hesitant to take on.
In the audience for the opening night were Maria Callas and her husband
Meneghini, to support and applaud their dear friend Simionato.
