| Summary |
George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931), a Massachusetts native identified with the so-called second "New England School" of composers, is among the most important and creative American composers in the generation that bridged the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His opera The Padrone, set to a libretto by David K. Stevens (based on an idea from Chadwick himself), was composed in 1912; it was strongly influenced by the "verismo" operas of the time (such as Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Puccini's Tosca), which attempted to bring to opera the naturalism of such late nineteenth-century writers as Zola and Ibsen. The Padrone is set in an American city (presumably the North End of Boston) in the "present." The story, a tragic tale in two acts with an orchestral interlude, revolves around a ruthless member of the Italian community ("the padrone") and his exploitation of more recently arrived immigrants. Chadwick composed The Padrone for submission to the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York, but the opera was rejected, probably because of its gritty realism, and was never staged during Chadwick's lifetime. -- Provided by publisher. |
