Palestrina (opera)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Palestrina is an opera by the German composer Hans Pfitzner, first performed at the Prinzregententheater, Munich on 12 June 1917. The libretto, which is by Pfitzner himself, is based on a legend about the Renaissance composer Giovanni Palestrina and the musical discussions which took place at the Council of Trent. Palestrina was Pfitzner's most successful opera and is still regularly performed in German-speaking countries, though revivals abroad are rarer.
