Ettore Panizza
Ettore Panizza (12 August 1875 - 27 December 1967) was an Argentinian conductor and composer, one of the leading conductors of the early 20th century.
A native of Buenos Aires, Panizza studied first with his father, who was a cellist at the Teatro Colon, and later in Milan. He made his debut as assistant conductor at the Rome Opera in 1897.
Although not usually credited, he was the first to conduct Puccini's Turandot with the ending by Franco Alfano. The world premiere at La Scala on 25 April 1926 was conducted by Arturo Toscanini, who stopped at the point where Puccini had ceased writing before his death. Panizza conducted the second and later performances of the work as completed by Alfano.
