Puccini’s trio of one-act operas, Il trittico, highlights the dramatic, tragic and comedic best of this giant of Italian opera. In December, RNCM Opera will perform two of the operas from this stunning work.

Suor Angelica is a heart-wrenching tale set in a convent. It contains moments of harrowing drama and unequalled redemptive beauty. This will be followed by the scintillatingly devilish comedy of Gianni Schicchi, in which a family of hypocrites are duped out of their inheritance.

This production will be performed in Italian with surtitles.
