Other than all melodrama, meaning ‘La fiamma’

Deutsche Oper Berlin reaches for the seldom performed opera "La fiamma" by Ottorin Respighi, whose 2 heroines are burned at the stake for witchcraft. “La fiamma” is simply a successful modernist effort to rehabilitate the Italian opera melodrama. However, it remains in the shadow of another works of the composer, and is highly seldom performed.
