Step into a world of intense emotions and gripping narratives with Giacomo Puccini’s Il Trittico, a triptych of one-act operas that promises to captivate and thrill. Eight years after his monumental success with La Fanciulla del West at the Metropolitan Opera, Puccini returned with this ambitious masterpiece, showcasing his unparalleled ability to evoke the human condition. To celebrate the centenary of Puccini’s death, Teatru tal-Opra Aurora proudly presents Il Trittico in 2024, featuring Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi.
Il Trittico runs the gamut from high drama and heartbreaking tragedy to devilish black comedy and farce. The recurring theme of entrapment binds these operas together: in Il Tabarro (The Cloak), a wife is trapped in a loveless marriage; Suor Angelica depicts a woman confined to a life she did not choose; and Gianni Schicchi features a dysfunctional family ensnared by a shameless conman. This trio of operas vividly portrays love and loss, promising an unforgettable experience for all opera enthusiasts. Join us in celebrating Puccini’s legacy with this masterful presentation of Il Trittico.
