Pietro Mascagni (1863–1945) was one of those composers who were famous for a single work, the rest of their output remaining practically unknown. His opera Iris is based on a libretto by Luigi Illica, who also wrote the libretti for Puccini operas such as La Bohème, Tosca and Madama Butterfly.
It was Illica who gave birth to the idea of an opera about Japan. Exotic subjects set in distant lands were in vogue throughout Europe at the time, particularly those set in the Far East. It was Mascagni’s express wish to write ‘original’ music for this specific material, something that was previously unheard-of.
This performance featuring the choir and orchestra of the Berliner Operngruppe under Felix Krieger is a live recording of the Berlin premiere of the original version of the opera. The venue was the Konzerthaus Berlin. The Berliner Operngruppe was celebrating its 10th anniversary.
