Abstract

Gian Carlo menotti is often named the premiere american opera composer of the 20th century. Born and raised in Italy, his view is the Italian one, that the theater should entertain, and he has dedicated his life to writing and composing operas in genres from comedy to sentiment, from passionate drama to Grand Guignol. (Orrey) However, even his Italian birthmark cannot erase his title as an american composer. His Italian roots and musical heritage, his use of new technology and media to bring alive opera in new ways, and his use of theater-drama have all contributed to his popular success in America and worldwide. Because of this, menotti has influenced countless composers and won a place at the top of 20th century writers and composers of opera.
