| Sumario: | This article constitutes a first descriptive-exploratory approach to Medio evo latino, an opera by the Italian-Argentine composer Ettore Panizza on a libretto by the Italian Luigi Illica, premiered in the year 1900. An outline of the biographical profile and the artistic career of the composer and the librettist is used to locate the work within the respective catalogs of its creators. It also seeks to place the piece in the context of the most central operatic production of its time. Special attention is dedicated to the weight that important protagonists of the Italian theatrical production system of its time gave to Medio evo latino; this relevance is analyzed in some detail in relation to the performers selected for its execution in the two productions of the title presented (at the Politeama Genovese and at the Teatro de la Ópera of Buenos Aires, respectively). The plot of the work is summarized, while the main features of its musical structure and language are outlined. 120 years after his last audition, and given the impossibility of recovering the orchestral score and the instrumental parts, it is suggested that the intrinsic and extrinsic values of the opera would justify a performative rescue, a sound record of the surviving vocal score, and a musicological analysis as exhaustive as possible. |
