It is a story made for the stage: Francesca da Rimini is a deceived woman-in-love who disregards her arranged marriage, decides that she has the perfect right to true love, and ends up murdered.
Dante originally wrote a few verses on this subject, but some decades later Boccaccio expanded the sketch into a tale containing all the ingredients of a genuine tragedy. In 1901 Gabriele D’Annunzio drew on this material to pen a scandalous fin de siècle drama.
The music publisher Ricordi recognized this plot’s potential as a music drama and commissioned the young Riccardo Zandonai to compose the music for it. The premiere in 1914 was a sensational success. The music adheres closely to the rhythm of the language and for the rest forms an iridescent backdrop saturated with colour and engaging in intensive depiction of the elements of setting and plot.
