MAC to feature one-act operas from ‘Triptych’
Conductor Andrew Altenbach said the only thing Giacomo Puccini’s “Suor Angelica” and “Gianni Schicchi” have in common visually is the presence of a donkey. Both of these works are part of the trilogy known as “the Triptych” Puccini composed in 1918. Angelica chronicles the tragedy of death and heartache within a convent, and Schicchi stages a lighthearted farce surrounding one family’s greed.
