Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876–1948) was an Italian opera composer known for blending comic and realistic traditions. Born in Venice to a German father and Italian mother, he studied in Munich and later became director of the Liceo Benedetto Marcello. Though he wrote Italian operas, many were produced in Germany, reflecting his Germanic sense of humor. He is best known for comic operas like I quattro rusteghi and Il segreto di Susanna, which combine 18th-century themes with modern orchestration. His dramatic operas, such as Sly and I gioielli della Madonna, show the influence of verismo. He also wrote chamber and orchestral music.
