Because there lives in Italy today a poet who can make plays to match his music; because Italo Montemezzi sniffed the music in the lines, caught the magic of the mood and translated it for an orchestra; because tragedy melts easily into the rich, sombre voice of Rosa Ponselle; because Giovanni Martinelli was the popular tenor who loved her; because Ezio Pinza was the blind king and believed it; because, by reason of its beauty and its simplicity, L'Amore del Tre Re pleases the tutored and untutored, there was small fault found anywhere with the opening performance...
