This is a truly brilliant production of Puccini's comic masterpiece. Although this one-acter, the third in Puccini's "Il Trittico" (trilogy) of one-act operas dealing with the subject of death, is less than an hour long, it packs a more than satisfying punch in the way of great music, well-drawn characters, and entertaining plot.

I can't think of a worse concept than moving an opera that turns on a point of Medieval law to the early 20th century.

Puccini's Gianni Schicchi (pronounced Skee-kee) is not only one of the funniest operas ever composed, it is one of the best COMEDIES ever staged, whether of an operatic nature or otherwise! Although it should be noted that the libretto, by Giovacchino Forzano, is based on an episode in Dante's Inferno, it cannot be denied that Puccini supplies a great deal of the hilarity through his astute orchestration. It is a rare thing to find an opera that is not just "humorous" but hilarious, and even rarer is ... Read More

When a crook succeeds in being liked you know you have a great opera and great singers who know how to act too. You will enjoy it.
