AVA Opera Preview - "Gianni Schicchi"

Briefly mentioned in Dante’s Inferno, title character Gianni Schicchi plays upon the avarice of a dead man’s family to take for himself the large part of their inheritance.
Il tabarro (“The cloak”) was originally conceived as a companion piece for Gianni Schicchi in Puccini’s Il trittico (along with Suor Angelica). It is the second-most frequently performed of the Triptych and is often paired with Gianni Schicchi. Presented in the style of verismo (“realism”) opera, the story revolves around a love triangle of a barge owner, his wife and a stevedore.
