Puccini – Gianni Schicchi (full opera)

The stunningly gorgeous Bella Collina property in Montverde, FL serves as the perfect stand-in for the Donati estate in this one-night-only mash-up of two comedic one-acts by two of opera greats. Enjoy Rossini’s The Marriage Contract and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi with friends, food, wine, and an incredible cast of singers headlined by Opera Orlando general director and Grammy-award winning baritone Gabriel Preisser as Gianni Schicchi himself. Music director and pianist Kyle Naig and stage director Grant Preisser lead this immersive double-feature about family, money, marriage, and contracts, and the antics of the dysfunctional Donati household is sure to have the audience in stitches.

This production will be sung in English with a new translation for The Marriage Contract by Gabriel Preisser. There will be no supertitles, and the show will run approximately two hours and forty minutes with one intermission.

Attending the Opera is a great excuse to dress to the nines or even to come dressed in the style and character of the opera being presented. Opera attendees are encouraged to dress formally and comfortably in whatever style they chose to enjoy the Opera. Act I of this production will be held outside, so be sure to bring a wrap or light jacket.
