A note of explanation for the unfamiliar: translated as 'The Tryptich,' the title, Il trittico, refers not to a single operatic work, but to an array of three 1918 one-act operas by the legendary Giacomo Puccini, frequently performed back-to-back: Gianni Schicchi, Suor Angelica and Il Tabarro. In this February 2007 production, the Teatro Comunale di Modena mounts all three works, with musical accompaniment by the Orchestra della Fondazione Arturo Toscanini and the Coro di Voci Bianche del Teatro Comunale, and Julian Reynolds conducting. Il tabarro stars Alberto Mastromarino as Michele, Amarilli Nizza as Giorgetta, and Rubens Pelizzari as Luigi; Suor Angelica stars Amarilli Nizza in the title role, Elisa Fortunati as La Badessa and Annamaria Chiuri as La zia principessa; and Gianni Schicchi stars Alberto Mastromarino in the title role, Amarilli Nizza as Lauretta and Annamaria Chiuri as Zita. Cristina Pezzoli directs for the stage.
