Il Tabarro (The Cloak) is a dark and passionate verismo tragedy set on a barge in Paris. Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) is a poignant and heartbreaking tale of a nun's sacrifice and divine intervention. Finally, Gianni Schicchi is a hilarious and witty comedy about a conniving lawyer who helps a family reclaim an inheritance. From intense drama to profound sorrow and laugh-out-loud humor, Il Trittico offers a captivating journey through Puccini's genius.
