Get ready for Gianni Schicchi—Puccini’s wickedly funny opera full of lies, greed, and outrageous family drama
When Buoso Donati dies, his greedy relatives discover he’s left his fortune to the church. Desperate, they enlist the cunning Gianni Schicchi to impersonate the corpse and rewrite the will. Hilarity, scheming, and operatic brilliance ensue. Featuring Puccini’s famous aria “O mio babbino caro”, this one-act comic gem delivers sharp wit, family drama, and a masterclass in musical mischief.
