Il Trittico

In the organizer's words:

Giacomo Puccini composed three scores for his cycle IL TRITTICO, premiered in 1918, which once again bundle what Italian opera could be in those years. His triptych lives from contrasts and reflections of the pieces to each other and ultimately revolves around a single motif: death as the central reference point of life ... Conductor: Sir Donald Runnicles / John Fiore [Dec.]; Production: Pınar Karabulut; With Misha Kiria, Jonathan Tetelman / Mikhail Pirogov, Carmen Giannattasio / Maria Motolygina, Mané Galoyan / Maria Motolygina, Violeta Urmana / Annika Schlicht, Andrei Danilov et al.
Three pieces in one evening. Three times great Italian opera - with the most diverse colors and temperatures: Giacomo Puccini composed three scores for his cycle IL TRITTICO, which premiered in 1918 and once again bundles what Italian opera could be in those years. His triptych lives from contrasts and reflections of the pieces to each other and ultimately revolves around a single motif: death as the central reference point of life.

IL TABARRO (The Coat) shows a gloomy love triangle in the shipping milieu on the Seine in Paris and ends in a brutal murder out of jealousy. The second opera, SUOR ANGELICA, contrasts brightly with this as a piece with an all-female cast, but its content also revolves around questions of death and transcendence. Finally, GIANNI SCHICCHI shows Puccini's great comedic potential as a bitterly wicked satyr play about deceived cheats at the deathbed of a relative. This content has been machine translated.
