Il Trittico
Puccini's II Trittico, three one-act operas written to be performed together in a single evening: the sinister Il Tabarro, the tragic Suor Angelica set in a convent, and the comic Gianni Schicchi, whose scheming protagonist tricks a family out of their inheritance. Presented by Margaret Juntwait.
