	Learn - Umberto Giordano - Arizona Opera
		(1867-1948) Umberto Giordano was born in Foggia, Italy on August 27, 1867.
		Giordano placed sixth in the competition, but this sufficed to attract the notice of Sonzogno, who commissioned the composer to write his next work, Mala vita, which premiered in Rome in 1892.
		Giordano's works are typical of the operatic style known as verismo.

	Umberto Giordano at AllExperts
		Umberto Giordano (August 28, 1867 - November 12, 1948) was an Italian composer, mainly of opera.
		Giordano tried a more romantic approach with his next opera, Regina Diaz (1894), but this was also a failure, taken off the stage after just two performances.
		Giordano then moved to Milan, and returned to verismo with his best-known work, Andrea ChÃ©nier (1896), based on the life of the French poet, AndrÃ© ChÃ©nier.

	Opera Italiana
		On the advice of the conductor Leopoldo Mugnone, the publisher Sonzogno commissioned him to compose Mala Vita (later reworked with the title Il Voto), staged in Rome in 1892 (and immediately afterwards in Vienna and Berlin); this opera proved that with his sanguine, exuberant temperament he was a fully paid-up member of the verismo movement.
		For the sake of convenience Giordano decided to move to Milan, where the librettist lived, and on account of his precarious finances made his home in a deposit of funeral sculptures which gave onto the same courtyard as the building where Illica lived and received the frequent visits of Puccini, who was writing Bohème.
		Giordano improvised the role of singing teacher and corrected the errors of emission and pitch in a voice that he realised was exceptional.

		Giordano saw the famous actress in the drama and knew immediately that this was great material for an opera.
		The year 1896 brought changes for the better: Giordano, on a hunch, persuaded Mascagni to get off a tram in Florence, on which the composer of the hit 'Cavalleria Rusticana' was passenger of honour on its maiden voyage.
		Giordano thus secured a contract for the opera he was working on at the time: 'Andrea Chénier'.

		Umberto Giordano (August 28, 1867 - November 12, 1948) was an Italian composer, mainly of opera.
		Giordano, the youngest candidate, placed sixth among seventy-three with Marina, which generated enough interest for Sonzogno to commission an opera to be staged in the 1891-92 season.
		Giordano then moved to Milan, and returned to verismo with his best-known work, Andrea Chénier (1896), based on the life of the French poet, André Chénier.

		When La Scala refused to stage Andrea Chénier, Giordano hurried to Mascagni for advice at the moment when Mascagni should have been riding on a tram with other dignitaries to celebrate the opening of Milan's new transport system.
		The tram crashed, killing and injuring several people; Mascagni maintained that Giordano had saved his life, and helped his career from then on.
		Giordano was a simple/ retiring man with a warm sense of humour.

		Giordano’s Andrea Chenier was his fourth opera, first performed at La Scala on 28 March 1896.
		Yet these voices were heard at the same volume and level of bombast as in any previous operas.
		The subject of Giordano’s opera was therefore a fascinating one from a generic point of view.
