The story of Casa Ricordi is inseparable from the history of the last two centuries of Italian music, and in particular, Italian opera, with composers such as Bellini, Donizetti, Puccini, Rossini and Verdi.
Founded in Milan in 1808 by Giovanni Ricordi, Ricordi formed a close connection with Teatro alla Scala in 1814 when he was engaged to copy all of the theatre’s performance materials. In 1825, Ricordi purchased the entire music library of La Scala, which formed the basis of its business of supplying materials to the leading opera companies of the world.
By the end of the 19th Century, Ricordi’s name was known throughout the musical world.
One hundred years after its founding and in its fourth generation as a family business, Ricordi’s catalogue had grown from a few hundred titles to more than 110,000 and was transformed into an important international enterprise with branches throughout the world.
Also, his long commitment to contemporary music continues to this day and resulted in an extensive repertoire of late 20th and 21st century works
In the 1980’s, Ricordi brought new energy and attention to the great Italian music repertoire of the past through the development of critical editions of operas.
