| When lI trittico premiered at New York's Metropolitan Opera in December 1918, Gianni Schicchi became an immediate hit. The Iibretto is based on an incident mentioned in Dante's Divine Comedy. The action in Puccinis Gianni Schicchi takes pIace in Buoso Donatis bedroom in 13th-century FIorence, immediateIy after his death, as his greedy relatives feign grief and search for his wiII. The mood shifts to anger when the reIatives discover that they have been disinherited. They seek out the clever and resourcefuI Schicchi to make a counterfeit wilI. Schicchi, however, turns their scheme against them, bequeathing most of the dead mans fortune to himself whiIe the relatives, all parties to the crime of forgery, are forced to sit by siIently. The aria O mio babbino caro is one of Puccini's most popular arias for soprano. Bruno de Simone plays the character of Gianni Schicchi. As ltaIy's finest basso buffo, he is perfect for this role. Puccini completed the score on 20 ApriI, 1918, eight months before the scheduled premiere. At that performance it was presented as the third part of a triIogy of newly written one-act operas by Puccini bilIed as lI trittico (The Triptych); the first two were Il tabarro (The CIoak) and Suor AngeIica (Sister AngeIica). |
