Pinotta
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Italic title". Pinotta is an idillio or opera in 2 acts by Pietro Mascagni from an Italian libretto by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti. The opera received its first performance on 23 March 1932 at the Teatro del Casinò in San Remo.
Pinotta is based on two youthful works of Mascagni: his cantata In Filanda (1881) which was combined with the song La tua stelle (1882). The libretto was written by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti, a long-time collaborator of the composer, and tells the love story of Baldo, a worker, and Pinotta, a young hand-spinner in Andrea's workshop. In the end, Baldo and Pinotta get married. The opera was successful and had several other performances in Italy (Florence, Naples, Rome, Turin). Today, Pinotta is rarely performed.
