I Medici
''I Medici'' is an opera composed by Ruggero Leoncavallo, with a libretto by the composer. The opera was intended as the first part of a planned trilogy called ''Crepusculum'', with the second and third operas to be called ''Savonarola'' and ''I Borgia.'' The word "crepusculum," is Latin for "twilight," signaling the influence of Richard Wagner's tetrology ''Der Ring des Nibelungen'' (whose fourth installment is called "Twilight of the Gods" (Gotterdammerung)). The remaining two operas were never completed.
Leoncavallo sought to create an "epic poem" for the stage. However, one contemporary review of the premiere stated: "In ''I Medici'' we have a historical opera like those that have been made many times before and will be hence ... () we do not have either an epoch or a set of characters brought truthfully to life; we do not have, in a word, that counterpart of the mythic trilogy () of Wagner at which Leoncavallo has gazed." ("In I Medici abbiamo un'opera su sfondo storico come ce ne furono tante prima e come ce ne saranno dopo ... non abbiamo né un'epoca né un complesso di figure vive e vere; non abbiamo, in una parola, quel contrapposto umano alla trilogia mitica del Wagner a cui il Leoncavallo ha mirato.").〔
