      abstract = {The composer of some of the world's best loved operas,  Puccini's gifts were primarily theatrical.  He had a great  feeling for the stage and the sound of instrumental colors,  combined with a well-developed melodic sense.  Inspired by  Verdi, he focused his attention on the Italian dramatic  traditions.  He won fame and fortune for Manon Lescaut, La  Boheme, Tosca and Madame Butterfly.  Turandot also achieved  great success and critical acclaim.  La Fanciulla del West  was written for the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and was  first presented there in 1910.},
