Giacomo Puccini

Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini (December 22, 1858 – November 29, 1924) is regarded as one of the great operatic composers of the late 19th and early 20th century. Although he wrote only twelve operas, Puccini's works dominate the operatic stage, particularly in the United States, where, according to Opera America, Madama Butterfly and La Bohème are the two most frequently performed operas respectively, with Tosca being eighth and Turandot being twelfth on the same list.

Mid-winter 2003. Six frustrated souls retreat to an abandoned 18th Century farmhouse loaded with instruments and record collections. After long, hazy nights and short days, the revelation of Delta Mainline was written.
