Palestrina is an opera by the German composer Hans Pfitzner, first performed in 1917.  The composer referred to it as a "Musikalische Legende" (musical legend), and wrote the libretto himself, based on a legend about the Renaissance musician Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, who saves the art of contrapuntal music (polyphony) for the Church in the sixteenth century, through his composition of the "Missa Papae Marcelli".  The wider context is that of the European Reformation and the role of music in relation to it.  The character of Cardinal Borromeo is depicted, and a General Congress of the Council of Trent is the centrepiece of Act II. "Doretta's Dream" is a 1987 single by Sarah Brightman.

He created the role of Prunier in the original 1917 production of Puccini's "La rondine" at the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, a role which he performed at many other opera houses including the Teatro Comunale di Bologna.  Over the next several years he played mostly leading roles at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome including Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Bohème", Fenton in Verdi's "Falstaff", and the Ernesto in Donizetti's "Don Pasquale".

In 1926 he created the role of Emperor Altoum in the original production of Puccini's "Turandot" at La Scala.  In 1929 he went on tour with La Scala to Germany.
