Puccini: Il Trittico

The film presents three distinct operas: Il tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi. Il tabarro explores themes of jealousy and murder aboard a barge on the Seine. Suor Angelica delves into the pain of loss, sacrifice, and the tragic fate of a nun. Gianni Schicchi adds a comedic touch, focusing on greed and trickery amidst a family dispute over a will.

This production was first performed at Covent Garden in September 2011 and features a talented cast, including Lucio Gallo, Aleksandrs Antonenko, Anna Larsson, Ekaterina Siurina, and conductor Antonio Pappano. The Olivier-nominated performance received acclaim for its powerful music and emotional storytelling, making it a significant representation of Italian opera.
