MELITA MILIN Nessi, Giuseppe(b Bergamo, 25 Sept 1887; d Milan, 16 Dec 1961). Italian tenor. He studied at the Istituto Musicale G. Donizetti, Bergamo, and made his début at Saluzzo in 1910 as Alfredo. After a short career as a lyric tenor he began to specialize in character roles and became the leading Italian comprimario of his time. From 1921 to 1959 he sang regularly at La Scala, where he created Pong in Turandot, Gobrias in Boito’s Nerone, Dona Pasqua Polegana in Il campiello and roles in operas by Pizzetti and Malipiero among others. Two of his most notable parts were Bardolph in Falstaff, which he sang at Salzburg (1935–9), and Malatestino in Francesca da Rimini. He appeared frequently at Covent Garden (1927–37) and was the first London Pong and the first Covent Garden Trabuco (La forza del destino) in 1931. He appeared in most leading Italian opera houses and his repertory included Goro, Spoletta, Missail (Boris Godunov) and Vašek. He was a master of make-up and a gifted comic actor. He sang several of his comprimario roles in recordings associated with La Scala. His last appearance was as Pinellino (Gianni Schicchi) at La Scala in 1959. HAROLD ROSENTHAL/R Nessler, Viktor E(rnst)(b Baldenheim bei Schlettstadt, Alsace, 28 Jan 1841; d Strasbourg, 28 May 1890). Alsatian composer. The son of a Protestant pastor, he studied theology in Strasbourg. His musical inclinations displeased his university teachers, however, and they expelled him. After the staging of his first opera, Fleurette, in Strasbourg (1864), he began musical studies with Maurice Hauptmann in Leipzig, which led to a lifelong connection with that city. He directed male-voice choirs (for which he wrote ‘volkstümlich’ partsongs) before becoming chorus master at the Leipzig Stadttheater; he was later conductor at the Carola Theater and then director of the Leipzig choral society. Nessler was known for his fairy tale operas inspired by the sentimental poetic romances of J.V. von Scheffel and his imitator Julius Wolff, widely read in mid-19th-century Germany. The particularly successful Der Rattenfänger von Hameln (1879), derived from Wolff, was soon performed in English translation in Manchester and London in 1882 and 1884 respectively. The popularity of Nessler’s conservative style, relying on a succession of simple melodies and some recurring motivic material, waned in his lifetime (critics were to scorn his librettos as fake-Gothic or ‘Butzenscheibenromantik’). He nevertheless enjoyed the influential support of the Austrian impresario Angelo Neumann, who encouraged Nessler to devote himself to composition. Der Trompeter von Säkkingen (1884), after Scheffel, achieved startling success in over 900 performances in north Germany; it was translated into five languages and inspired Arthur Nikisch to compose an orchestral fantasy on its themes.
