Eight years after his La Fanciulla del West had its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in 1910, Giacomo Puccini unveiled a second new work with the company. A triptych of one-act operas, Il Trittico is one of the most expansive undertakings for any opera company, and to celebrate the centenary from the death of the composer, the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora is proud and excited to present this ambitious project in 2024 – Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicci.
A trio of one-act operas of love and loss, Il Trittico runs the gamut from high drama and heartbreaking tragedy to devilish black comedy and farce. Trapped is the recurring theme, as Il Tabarro (The Cloak) sees a wife trapped in a marriage she yearns to escape, Suor Angelica is trapped into a life for which she has no vocation, while Gianni Schicchi’s dysfunctional family is funnily enough caught in the snare of a shameless conman.
