About the Story...
I long for him and torment myself. O God, I'd like to die! Father, have pity, have pity! - Lauretta's aria 'O mio babbino caro', from Gianni Schicchi
Il trittico (The triptych) is the title to a collection of three one-act operas, Il tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi
IL TABARRO - The Cloak
The Parisian barge owner Michele discovers that his wife Giorgetta is having an affair with the young stevedore Luigi. As Luigi is about to keep a rendezvous with Giorgetta, Michele kills him, and presents Giorgetta with the body wrapped in his cloak.
SUOR ANGELICA - Sister Angelica
A convent near Siena. Angelica has entered the convent after bearing an illegitimate child. Her aunt, the Princess, visits her and asks her to renounce her share of the family estate. When Angelica asks about her child, the Princess brutally tells her that her son is dead. Angelica takes poison, and, as she dies, receives a vision of the Virgin bringing the child to her.
GIANNI SCHICCHI
Florence 1299. The greedy relatives of the deceased Buoso, led by Simone and Zita, are horrified to discover that Buoso has left his entire fortune to a monastery. They ask the wily Gianni Schicchi, whose daughter Lauretta loves Buoso's nephew, Rinuccio, to help them make a new will, giving him detailed instructions as to how everything is to be bestowed. Schicchi dresses up as Buoso and gets into his bed. When the lawyer arrives, Schicchi dictates Buoso's will, and, but for the house, which he wills to the lovers, bequeaths everything to his 'good friend Gianni Schicchi.''
Witness a crime of passion in the psychologically thrilling Il tabarro. Be transformed by the music of Suor Angelica. Delight in Gianni Schicchi's witty exploits with a family behaving very badly. But above all, thrill to these three treasures from a master of the genre, performed by a sensational cast.
