Wikipedia
(Gypsies), also known as Gli Zingari, is an opera in two acts by Ruggero Leoncavallo. The libretto by and is based on The Gypsies, a narrative poem by Alexander Pushkin. The opera premiered on 16 September 1912 at the Hippodrome Theater in London.
Despite the opera's present obscurity, its incredibly long run in London in 1912/3 and performances in the United States in 1912/3 make it Leoncavallo's most performed opera after Pagliacci, surpassing the performances of his more widely known Zazà and La bohème. Although Edigio Cunego, who created the role of Radu and appeared in hundreds of performances of Zingari in London (sometimes twice a day), recorded much from Leoncavallo's operas, he did not record any excerpts from Zingari.
Zingari'' (English:Gypsies'') is a 1920 Italian silent film directed by Mario Almirante and starring Italia Almirante-Manzini.
