Puccini's Il Trittico

"Aspects of Love - Forbidden, Maternal and Paternal: Puccini's Il Trittico" was presented by Dr. David Schwartz on Monday 29 July. Always seeking human stories, Puccini wanted to explore contrast, pouring his talent into the gritty melodrama of Il tabarro, the intimate tragedy of Suor Angelica and the surprising satire of Gianni Schicchi. David used the 1981 Met Opera version of this work, where Renata Scotto was featured in each of the one-act operas.
