opera in Italy until 1911 and during seasons at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, Lisbon, from 1901 to 1919–20. In 1905 he was at the Rio de Janeiro opera and in May 1908 he conducted Aida, inaugurating the new Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires, returning there in 1909, 1910 and 1913. Personal life In 1881, Mancinelli married Luisa Cora, in Turin. He died in Rome on 2 February 1921, aged 72. Works Although Mancinelli was regarded by contemporaries as a conductor who also composed, he took his compositions with great seriousness, and was disappointed that they made little impact on the public. His "tragica lirica" Ero e Leandro, premiered at the Norwich Festival in 1896, was later given in Madrid, London, New York, and several Italian cities, but did not sustain a place in the repertory. Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians comments that Mancinelli's lack of success as a composer: Operas Isora di Provenza (3 acts, A. Zanardini; Bologna, 1884) Ero e Leandro (3 acts, Arrigo Boito; Norwich Festival, 1896) Paolo e Francesca (1 act, Arturo Colautti; Bologna, 1907) Sogno di una notte d'estate (3 acts, Fausto Salvatori; 1919) Other stage works Messalina (Prelude and intermezzo for the drama by Pietro Cossa, 1876) Cleopatra (Symphonic intermezzi for the drama by Pietro Cossa, 1877) Tizianello (Five pieces for the comedy by E.
