This is our dear Puccini that seemed like Verdi. Of course the Maestro always carried a strong Verdi influence, but in this early work, it is a very remarkable influence. (See Verdi's Requiem Dies Irae.) Yet, considering earlier 'Capriccio sinfonico', I believe Puccini tried to ressemble Verdi by his own will, so the juri of the competition to which he originally wrote the opera would classify him as Verdi. But Le Villi did not win the competition. Only called Mr. Ricordi and decided Puccini's future.
Do you think the images I chose are apropriated and/or fitting to the music and the opera's context? Or I made a big mistake by choosing these images? Please let YouTube know your opinion by commenting and rating!
Oh, I was forgetting the Capriccio sinfonico and the other student Puccini only orchestral works. :-)

This is great. Music is wonderful, orchestra is so strong and pure and images are haunting, especially the last. :-) He looks like asking: Did you like it? Yeah, of course you did, how could you not???
Thank you.
