Duet from Puccini “il Tabarro” with Asmik Grigorian

Kosma Ranuer & Asmik Grigorian - Il Tabarro - Duet

Puccini's Il Trittico, world-premiered at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1918, consists out of the three one-act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi. The LNO production of Il trittico marks the first time ever that this exceptional work is performed in Latvia in its entirety - just as Puccini intended it.

Director Viesturs Kairišs: "Puccini set Il Tabarro in 1910, Suor Angelica in the late 17th century, and Gianni Schicchi in the 13th century, in Dante's time. So according to Puccini, the first opera has the most contemporary setting, and from there on, we move back in time, back in history. We turned this historic paradigm around. The first story is supposed to happen a hundred years ago. We decided to move it to the 1920s. From there, we move further towards our time - our convent is set in the 1950s, and Gianni Schicchi is set today. One of the deepest paradoxes of history is that the most ancient story is the most up-to-date one, packed with greed, corruption, intrigues, and scheming. What was an innocent historical story to laugh at in Puccini's time is a biting reality now. Our reality."
