More Details on Puccini - Il Trittico

TDK presents Il trittico (The Triptych) – Puccini’s collection of three one-act operas. With two leading Italian singers in the main roles this new staging by Cristina Pezzoli sees all three operas performed together as the composer intended. Unfortunately, nowadays the operas, which superficially seem unrelated, are often performed separately. This DVD presents all three as one piece of art.
 
As a whole, Il trittico is well balanced. Il tabarro, the first work, is dark and brooding, full of the violence and grit associated with verismo opera. Suor Angelica, the second, was Puccini's personal favourite – nowadays, nevertheless, it is usually omitted if only two of the acts are performed. It is an uplifting tale of religious redemption. Gianni Schicchi, the third act, is the most popular, a comedic farce full of greed and conniving.
