Arlecchinooder Die Fenster (Harlequin, or The Windows) is an opera by Ferruccio Busoni. The German libretto was written by the composer. This article does not cite its references or sources. ... Ferruccio Busoni Dante Michaelangelo Benvenuto Ferruccio Busoni (April 1, 1866 – July 27, 1924) was an Italian composer, pianist, music teacher and conductor. ...
Busoni wrote his operas late, when he was past fifty (he died in his fifties).
Both operas are short, and even together, they don't quite constitute a full evening in the theater.
Arlecchino goes off with the tailor's wife, while his own abandoned wife, Colombina, takes up with a nobleman, and the tailor is lost in the ecstasy of reading Dante (ironically enough, the Francesca da Rimini episode in the Inferno).
