Insights: Il trittico

As Richard Jones’s masterful staging of Il trittico returns to the Main Stage this February, join cast and creatives from the production as they discuss the music, themes and inspirations of Puccini’s trio of works.

With its three gripping stories encompassing melodrama, tragedy and comedy, Il trittico shows Puccini at his theatrical best. In Il tabarro, Giorgetta seeks relief from her misery at the death of her baby by having an affair – how will her husband Michele react? In Suor Angelica, the nun Angelica is visited by a relative who brings unwelcome news. And in Gianni Schicchi, a Florentine family enlists the cunning Schicchi to help them rewrite a will, little knowing that Schicchi has his own plans.
