In 2005 his opera "Aladino e la lampada magica" ("Aladdin And The Magical Lamp"), with Cosmin Ifrim in the title role, was performed in German translation at the Vienna State Opera and released on DVD. His 1977 opera "The Italian Straw Hat", an adaptation of the play by Eugène Labiche was presented by the Santa Fe Opera. Gus Van Sant used some of Rota's music in his 2007 film "Paranoid Park". Rota wrote several concerti and other orchestral works as well as piano, chamber and choral music.Īfter his death Rota's music was the subject of the 1981 tribute album "Amarcord Nino Rota". In all, Rota wrote scores to more than 150 films. His score for Fellini's "Juliet Of The Spirits" (1965) included a collaboration with Eugene Walter on the song, "Go Milk The Moon" (cut from the final version of the film), and they teamed again for the song "What Is A Youth?", part of Rota's score for Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo And Juliet". Rota's score for Fellini's "8½" (1963) is often cited as one of the factors which makes the film cohesive. His world was inner, inside himself, and reality had no way to enter it.' When I asked him about the melodies he had in mind to comment one sequence or another, I clearly realized he was not concerned with images at all. He thus had no need to see images from my movies. He had a geometric imagination, a musical approach worthy of celestial spheres. They continued to work together for decades, and Fellini recalled: 'The most precious collaborator I have ever had, I say it straightaway and don't even have to hesitate, was Nino Rota - between us, immediately, a complete, total, harmony. His association with Fellini began with "Lo sceicco bianco" (1952), followed by "I vitelloni" (1953) and "La strada" (1954). During the 1940s, Rota composed scores for more than 32 films, including Renato Castellani's Zazà (1944). In 1937, he began a teaching career that led to the directorship of the Bari Conservatory, a title he held from 1950 until his death in 1979. Rota earned a degree in literature from the University of Milan. Returning to Milan, he wrote a thesis on the renaissance composer Gioseffo Zarlino. He won a scholarship to the Curtis Institute of Philadelphia, where he took classes in orchestra with Fritz Reiner and had Rosario Scalero as an instructor in composition. His first oratorio, L'infanzia di San Giovanni Battista, was performed in Milan and Paris as early as 1923 and his lyrical comedy, "Il Principe Porcaro", was composed in 1926.Įncouraged by Arturo Toscanini, Rota moved to the United States where he lived from 1930 to 1932.
