Latvian National Opera
Giacomo Puccini "Il Trittico": Il Tabarro Suor Angelica Gianni Schicchi

The Riga Opera Festival at the Latvian National Opera was opened with a 
new production of Puccini's Il Trittico on June 8 2010. Il Trittico, world-premiered at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1918, consists out of the three one-act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi. It has  never been performed in its entirety in Riga before.

Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian will take on the extraordinary challenge to portray the evening's three female leads: Giorgetta in Il Tabarro, the title-role in Suor Angelica, and Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi. Brazilian tenor and OPERALIA winner Thiago Arancam will sing Luigi in Il Tabarro, Swedish baritone Kosma Ranuer will sing Michele in Il Tabarro and the title-role in Gianni Schicchi.

Under the baton of Chief Conductor Modestas Pitrenas, the cast also includes mezzo-sopranos Ilona Bagele and Andžella Goba as Frugola in Il Tabarro, as La Zia Principessa in Suor Angelica, and as Zita in Gianni Schicchi, sopranos Inga Šlubovska and Gunta Davidčuka as Sister Genovieffa in Suor Angelica, and tenor Raimonds Bramanis as Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi.
