“Suor Angelica” | Il Trittico by Giacomo Puccini at Maggio Musicale Fiorentino

Conductor Valerio Galli and director Denis Krief return together at the Teatro del Maggio for Puccini’s Trittico: Il tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi. Premiered on Dec. 14, 1918 at the Metropolitan in New York to substantial acclaim, the three operas together are a perfect balance of music and dramaturgy: they begin with a story of jealousy that ends in murder and then continue with a family tragedy and, only at the end, are a few laughs wrung out. Although the three works were composed to be a one-act play, nowadays they are often separated to be paired with other similarly themed works or staged individually.

New staging in co-production with Teatro del Giglio in Lucca and Teatro Lirico in Cagliari
The performance on 15 November 2019 will be broadcast live on Rai Radio 3
