About this concert
Gripping drama, heartfelt emotion, and clever comedy: Il trittico comes to HGO in the company’s first-ever full presentation of Puccini’s masterful trio of one-act operas. Led by acclaimed director James Robinson, the evening begins with Il tabarro, a tale of passion and betrayal set on the Seine, where the lives of a barge captain, his young wife, and her lover intertwine in a tragic crescendo.
Next, Suor Angelica delves into the desperation of a cloistered nun with a haunted past, whose story—reset by Robinson in a children’s hospital—culminates in heartrending redemption. The night concludes with the director’s stylish, Felliniesque take on the brilliantly witty Gianni Schicchi, the tale of a cunning conman who turns a family’s greed into a delightful farce, featuring what is perhaps Puccini’s best-loved aria, “O mio babbino caro.”
This production boasts a powerhouse lead cast that will take on multiple roles across the three operas: soprano Corinne Winters in her company debut, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, bass-baritone Ryan McKinny, and tenor Arturo Chacón-Cruz. Maestro Patrick Summers conducts.
