Italian Summary:

Il Trittico è il nome con cui sono conosciute tre opere in un atto musicate da Giacomo Puccini: Il tabarro, su libretto di Giuseppe Adami, Suor Angelica e Gianni Schicchi, entrambe su libretto di Giovacchino Forzano.

Intorno al 1904, Puccini iniziò la pianificazione di una serie di opere in un atto, in gran parte a causa del successo di Cavalleria rusticana di Pietro Mascagni.In origine, aveva in mente di scrivere ogni opera per riprendere ognuna delle tre cantiche della Divina Commedia di Dante. Tuttavia, alla fine basò solo Gianni Schicchi sul poema di Dante. Inizialmente Puccini compose solo Il tabarro (l'idea originaria gli fu suggerita dall'ascolto a Parigi, nel 1912, del dramma La houppelande di Didier Gold). Solo in seguito pensò di accompagnare questo truce dramma con altri due lavori di carattere contrastante, appunto Suor Angelica, scritta tra la fine del 1916 ed i primi mesi del 1917, e Gianni Schicchi, terminato nella primavera del 1918.

Luogo: Una chiatta sulla Senna a Parigi.
Tempo: 1910.
L'opera è molto scura e cupa, piena di violenza: ha un carattere verista.

Luogo: Un convento vicino a Siena.
Tempo: L'ultima parte del XVII secolo.
Questa seconda opera, la preferita di Puccini[6] (ma di solito è quella che viene omessa se sono eseguite solo due opere) è un racconto edificante sulla redenzione religiosa.

Luogo: Firenze.
Tempo: 1299.
La terza opera è la più famosa, una farsa piena di avidità e connivenze.

 

English Summary:

Puccini's Il Trittico consists of three one-act operas, each satisfying in itself, yet skillfully contrasted to make up a thrilling complete programme.

The first, Il Tabarro is set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, is concerned with Michele, a barge owner, and his wife Giorgetta. Michele suspects that Giorgetta is being unfaithful to him with one of the stevedores who work nearby. On the barge one night, he speaks tenderly to her of their past, begging her to help him recapture their past happiness, but she spurns him and goes inside the barge. Michele's suspicions are then confirmed when Luigi, his wife's lover, appears. Michele kills Luigi, then forces his wife to confront the dead body. The second, Suor Angelica, is set at a convent in 17th-century Italy. Sister Angelica was placed into the convent by her family seven years ago, as punishment for having a child out of wedlock. Her aunt pays a rare visit to her and coldly tells her that the child is now dead. Filled with despair, Angelica takes poison, realizing too late that by doing so she risks eternal damnation -- and eternal separation from her beloved child. She feverishly prays to the Madonna, and as the opera ends, Angelica's child appears to usher her into heaven. Gianni Schicchi is set in Florence in the late 1200s and concerns a group of greedy relatives awaiting the death of the enormously wealthy Buoso Donati. Afraid that the old man has left his fortune to a monastery, a plan is concocted whereby the cunning but lowly Gianni Schicchi will impersonate the dying man and create a new will that solidly favors the gathered relatives.

Il tabarro

Place: A barge on the Seine in Paris.

Time: 1910.

The opera is dark and brooding, with the violence and grit associated with verismo opera.

Libretto GIUSEPPE ADAMI

Michele PIERO CAPPUCCILLI

Luigi NICAOLA MARTINUCCI

Giorgetta SYLVIA SASS

Suor Angelica

This second opera, Puccini's personal favorite (but usually the one to be omitted if only two of the operas are performed), is an uplifting tale of religious redemption.

Suor Angelica ROSALIND PLOWRIGHT

Gianni Schicchi

The third opera is the most popular, a farce full of greed and conniving.
