Erik,
Congratulations on the latest version of the Mascagni site. It's a 
wonderful resource and will certainly play a significant role in 
enhancing the reputation the maestro.
By the way, does anyone know the fate of a singing competition named 
after Mascagni?  Did any competition actually take place? If so, who 
were the prizewinners?
It seems to me that it would be a good idea to revive the idea of such 
a competition. It would encourage singers to investigate some Mascagni 
opera scores that they would never otherwise open, and we might find 
some new artists to do justice to these wondeful works.
Best wishes
Roger
