Details

Three one-act operas tell contrasting stories of jealousy and murder, loss and suicide, romance and cheerful trickery. Contrast is the essence of Giacomo Puccini's operatic triptych, Il trittico. The one-act works that form the trilogy - Il tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi - range from gritty melodrama to life-affirming comedy. While each opera stands alone, the three come together to create a sense of a complete event, rich in textures and musical forms.
