Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini, from LA Opera, 2015. Directed by Matthew Diamond, conductor Grant Gershon. Starring Plácido Domingo (Gianni Schicchi), Andriana Chuchman (Lauretta), Meredith Arwady (Zita), Arturo Chacón-Cruz (Rinuccio), Greg Fedderly (Gherardo), Philip Cokorinos (Betto di Signa),Stacey Tappan (Nella), Liam Bonner (Marco), and many more.

Woody Allen works his magic, ramping up the comedy in Puccini's already comic opera to the point of absurdity. He uses his opera directing debut to lampoon a series of Italian cinema clichés. Placido Domingo plays the sly Gianni Schicchi with casual nonchalance, proving his substantial skill as a comic actor.

Legendary artists combine forces forasensational performance.Plácido Domingo,internationally renowned opera singer,stars as Gianni Schicchi in this riotous staging of Puccini's masterpiece, directed by Academy Awards winner Woody Allen.The story is splendidly conveyed through the contribution of famed scenic designer Santo Loquasto.The stage becomes purposefully muddled with characters,populatingamulti-story labyrinth inabold representation of Italian stereotypes around the 1950s.The result is racy and comical,areal artistic triumph that will leave you buzzing with excitement.
