GAETANO PINI-CORSI (ZARA, 25 FEBRUARY, 1865 – MILAN, 16 DECEMBER, 1935)

 

 

 

 

Pini-Corsi made his debut around 1881 in Empoli as Ernesto in Donizetti’s Don Pasquale. He gained prominence in 1886 at the Teatro Comunale in Catania as Elvino in Bellini’s La Sonnambula. His career later focused on comprimario roles, including Mime, David, and Cassio.

From 1892 to 1906, Pini-Corsi frequently appeared at La Scala. Notably, he sang David in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in 1899 and created the role of Mime in the Italian premiere of Siegfried. On February 17, 1904, he performed as Goro in the premiere of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly at La Scala. In 1907, he participated in the premiere of Montemezzi’s Paolo e Francesca at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna.

Pini-Corsi also performed at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1912. By 1923, he appeared at the Teatro Regio in Parma as Goro in Madama Butterfly and at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo as Mime in Siegfried. His career likely concluded with a performance in 1932. His brother, Antonio Pini-Corsi, was a noted operatic baritone.
