Giacomo Puccini gained his fame as the author of grand works of multilayered dramatic effect and musical complexity. However, as any true master, he kept in touch with the times and composed Il Trittico in 1918, a modern trio of one - act operas. Under the baton of Maestro Xu Zhong, Suzhou Symphony Orchestra now presents a double - bill that stages two contrasting moods: GIANNI SCHICCHI and SUOR ANGELICA, the last two of The Triptych, to showcase Puccini’s genius in a new operatic genre.

“O mio babbino caro......” No one wrote a love song quite like Puccini, but in the farcical world of GIANNI SCHICCHI, nothing is quite as it seems. GIANNI SCHICCHI originates in Dante’s Inferno and tells the story of its titular character, a confidence trickster who impersonates a recently deceased nobleman for material and personal gain. Puccini imbues the music with some of his most playful and comical tunes. The mini - opera compensates its brevity with the richness of its arias and duets, which beautifully bring out different vocal qualities and moods in each character. SUOR ANGELICA —— an opera with an exclusively female cast —— tells the tragic tale of a woman who bears a child out of wedlock and is sent to a convent to repent for her sins. The sounds of the church bell, birdsong and morning chorus can be heard at the very beginning of the opera in which Puccini shows how music can evoke truly powerful emotions. We hear the heroin’s sorrow in “Senza mamma”, one of the most beautiful arias that Puccini ever wrote for the soprano voice.

普契尼的盛名得于他的歌剧作品，其戏剧效果的丰满、丰富以及历史性的复合，让普契尼成为意大利歌剧史上的代表人物之一，并且，与音乐史上名副其实的大师们一样，他始终紧跟时代潮流。许忠大师携手苏州交响乐团呈现普契尼创作的非常具有现代感的《三联剧》中的两部独幕歌剧：《贾尼·斯基基》与《修女安杰丽卡》，作品让人笑中带泪，悲喜相辉。

“噢，我亲爱的宝贝……”普契尼笔下的情歌如此独一无二，但在贾尼·斯基基的滑稽世界，一切都不似表面看起来那样。剧情与但丁笔下的《地狱之旅》有渊源，讲述的是一个骗子冒名顶替一位已故贵族以谋取钱财的故事。普契尼大展他的幽默风趣，在简约的戏剧架构中融入丰富的咏叹调和重唱，充分显露每个角色的嗓音特质与性情。全员女性的歌剧《修女安杰丽卡》讲述了一个因生下非婚生儿而被送入修道院、终年忏悔的女性的悲戚故事。歌剧在教堂钟声、晨间的鸟歌与圣歌中开始，普契尼再次充分验证了音乐唤起强烈情感的本事。我们在“没了妈妈”一曲中听见女主角的心碎，此曲可称得上普契尼为女高音声线写过的最凄美的咏叹调之一。
