Question: Niccola Spinelli, was an Italian composer of operas, premiered in Rome on 9 May 1890; the first prize went to Pietro Antonio Stefano Mascagni, who was an Italian composer, most noted for his operas, and which 1890 masterpiece?
Sentence (from "Pietro Mascagni"): While it was often held that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, "L'amico Fritz" and "Iris" have remained in the repertoire in Europe (especially Italy) since their premieres.
Relevant evidence: No
