[PAR] [TLE] Niccola Spinelli [SEP] Niccola Spinelli (born Turin, Italy 1865 – died Rome 18 October, 1909) was an Italian composer of operas.  Born in Turin, the son of a jurist, he studied composition at the Naples Conservatory under Paolo Serrao.  His opera "Labilia" won the second-place prize in an 1890 opera competition organized by Milanese music publisher Edoardo Sonzogno, and premiered in Rome on 9 May 1890; the first prize went to Pietro Mascagni for "Cavalleria rusticana".  His most well-known work is "A Basso Porto" ("At the Lower Harbor"), which premiered in Cologne on 18 April 1894 to great popular acclaim. [PAR] [TLE] Pietro Mascagni [SEP] Pietro Antonio Stefano Mascagni (] ; 7 December 1863 – 2 August 1945) was an Italian composer most noted for his operas. His 1890 masterpiece "Cavalleria Rusticana" caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and single-handedly ushered in the "Verismo" movement in Italian dramatic music.  While it was often held that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, "L'amico Fritz" and "Iris" have remained in the repertoire in Europe (especially Italy) since their premieres.  Mascagni said that at one point, "Iris" was performed in Italy more often than "Cavalleria" (cf. Stivender).
