Puccini's Gianni Schicchi
Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi - A survey by Ralph Moore Having already surveyed the first two operas in Puccini’s triptych Il trittico, I conclude with the last instalment, Gianni Schicchi. There are nearly fifty recordings if live recordings are counted but despite the claim on the Wikipedia that it “has been widely recorded”, it enjoys no more studio recordings than its two companion pieces. I survey below eleven, consisting of all nine studio accounts plus two mono radio broadcasts all in Italian; I am not considering any live recordings or those in German, as the average listener will want to hear the original text in good sound. The plot may be based on a cautionary tale from Dante’s Inferno about Schicchi’s damnation for testamentary falsification but its comic treatment by librettist Giovacchino Forzano, in the commedia dell'arte tradition, makes it a suitably cheery conclusion to a highly diverse operatic evening consisting of a sequence which begins with a gloomy, violent melodrama, moves on to a heart-rending tear-jerker and ends with this high farce. It is still genuinely funny and doubtless the advent of surtitles has enhanced its accessibility to non-Italian audiences, just as non-Italian speakers need a libretto to appreciate it fully when listening. This was Puccini’s only comic opera and satirises the timeless theme of the feigned grief and greed of potential heirs. The starring role is that of the resourceful arch-schemer and cunning impostor Gianni Schicchi but the contributions of both the soprano and tenor, although comparatively small, are important, as each has a famous, set piece aria, and for that reason neither part can be under-cast.

I Gianni Schicchi: O Mio Babbino Caro II Un Bel Di from Madama Butterfly
Two Nights at the Opera I Gianni Schicchi: O mio babbino caro II Un bel di from Madama Butterfly For String Orchestra by Giacomo Puccini Arranged by Marsha Chusmir Shapiro Complete String Orchestra Instrumentation 1 - Full Score 10 -Violin I 10 -Violin II 8 - Viola 8 - Cello 6 - Contrabass TRN Music Publisher, Inc. P.O. Box 197 • Alto, NM 88312 • USA www.trnmusic.com Two Nights at the Opera PROGRAM NOTES Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) was born in Lucca, Toscana, Italy to a family that consisted of a long line of composers. When Puccini was a young boy his father died, leaving his mother and seven children in poverty. Puccini sang and learned to play the organ. At 18 he wrote his first composition, and later entered the music conservatory in Milan. Puccini had a tough start as a composer, but with much hard work he became successful and did well financially. Puccini wrote ten operas, including Il Trittico which was actually three one-act operas. While working on the opera Turendot, Puccini developed a sore throat, which was later diagnosed as cancer. He was operated on, but died five days later of heart failure. Gianni Schicchi is the name of a one-act opera first performed in New York in late 1918. It is actually one of three one-act operas (Trittico) performed during the same evening. The opera is set in the year 1299. A wealthy aristocrat of Florence (Italy) has just died, and his greedy relatives are gathered at the bedside pretending to grieve. But their real interest is in what they will inherit.

Manon Lescaut
July 9, 2020 – Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut A spoiled teenager gets her just desserts, dying in a desert in this week’s Thursday Night Opera House: Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. The composer’s first commercially successful opera, it had its premiere in Turin, Italy, on February 1, 1893. The story is based on the 1731 novel L’histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by Antoine François Prévost, better known as the Abbé Prévost. The libretto, while more faithful to Prévost than Jules Massenet’s Manon (1884), sentimentalizes Manon and Des Grieux. The story begins in eighteenth-century France and ends a few years later in the Louisiana territory that President Thomas Jefferson would purchase for America. The teenaged Manon (soprano Mirella Freni), accompanied by her brother Lescaut (baritone Renato Bruson), is on her way to a convent. She meets and falls in love with the Chevalier des Grieux (tenor Plácido Domingo) and, taking the coach of the elderly Geronte (bass Kurt Rydl)—who had himself hoped to use it to abduct Manon—the couple go to Paris. After a while, Manon is seduced by the wealth offered by Geronte and leaves Des Grieux. They are later reunited and decide to go away together; but, before leaving, Manon stops to pick up her jewelry, the gift of Geronte. This delay leads to their arrest by agents hired by Geronte, and Manon is sentenced to deportation to New Orleans. Des Grieux gains permission to accompany her, helps Manon escape in America, and they go in search of an English colony.
