  • Description

    Conchita premiered in Milano at the Teatro dal Verme on 14 October 1911 with soprano Tarquinia Tarquini, who married Zandonai in 1917, in the title role and the famous tenor Piero Schiavazzi. The orchestra was conduced by Hector Panizza. The success was triumphant and prompted the editor Ricordi to suggest that Zandonai publish other works with him. Other performances of Conchita took place at the Royal Opera, London (1912), the Cort Theatre in San Francisco (1912), the Philharmonic Auditorium in Hollywood (1912), the Heilig Theatre in Portland (1912), the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia (1912), the Chicago Grand Opera Company (1913), and the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples (1913) always starring Tarquini. Little by little the opera left the repertoires of theaters.

    Here is the World Premiere Live Recording with Orchestra Filarmonica della Calabria, Coro Lirico Siciliano, Filippo Arlia and Chorus Master Francesco Costa.
