Dear list,
A couple of recent news, in case you haven't visited Mascagni.org's home page recently:
1. April 8, 2005 - This hasn't been confirmed yet, but it looks like there is a chance that Amica will be performed in Collesalvetti in August 2005. This year marks the centenary of this musically very interesting opera, initially composed to a French libretto.
2. April 12, 2005 - The Forest Hills Symphony Orchestra is announcing the third and last concert of its season on Sunday, April 17 at 2pm at the Forest Hills Jewish Center, 106-06 Queens Blvd. It will feature oboist Joan Dawidziak and bassoonist Howard Rockwin in the Vivaldi Concerto for oboe and bassoon. Also on the program will be Bizet's L'Arlesienne Suite and the prelude and intermezzo from L'Amico Fritz by Mascagni.
I also found this article about introducing opera to high school students in San Francisco. One the piece they sung was the Cherry Duet from L'amico Fritz:

Finally, I don't think I mentioned that blog-style review of Rapsodia Satanica in Rome is available on my blog online:
