Romantic Studies
Musical 'verismo' was a notable feature of operas by such diverse composers as Leoncavallo, Mascagni, Puccini, Mussorgsky and others. What do we understand by the term 'Verismo' in opera?
This essay aims to explore the origins and development of the 'verismo' style in nineteenth century opera and to examine its importance within the operatic genre as a whole. In doing this, an understanding of the term 'verismo' can be established in its operatic context.
Tosca was based upon a drama of the same name, written in 1887 by Victorien Sardou. The plot centres around lust and crime, two veristic themes, which are beautifully set to music. "To anatomise the crime of passion became an obsession with writers in the last decades of the nineteenth century; and the fascination forges a link between verismo and decadence that is obviously indispensable to any understanding of Puccini"
