A choreographer at New York City Ballet intends to stage Nathaniel
Hawthorne's "Rappaccini's Daughter," and has asked me if I know of any
Italian or Clasical antecedents to this short story (aka "The Daughter of
Signor Rappaccini"). Since I am in a small Italian town with limited
bibliographic resources for the summer, I hope that someone might be able
to point me in the right direction for an answer. I believe that Octavio
Paz did a dramatization of the story, but I know of no other staging of
the Hawthorne piece.
grazie mille,
Scott Failla
