In December of 1918, at the Metropolitan Opera,
Giacomo Puccini unveiled a new work with the company, a triptych of one-act operas, called Il Trittico: Il Tabarro (The Cloak) Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) and Gianni Schicchi. These three diverse operas of Puccini have a powerful unifying theme: the effect of death on those left living (the English word would be “triptych,” as in the three part altarpiece paintings of the Middle Ages). Each is told with a distinctive musical and linguistic language—the tragic and veristic Il Tabarro, the mystical and reflective Suor Angelica, and a masterful tale of comic retribution, Gianni Schicchi. These operas are easy for an audience to absorb and enjoy at first hearing, and thus are wonderful first operas for newcomers to the form in that they give the public a wide variety of styles in a single evening; for opera veterans, Il Trittico provides a unique architectural change in what it usually thought of as Italian opera. It was Puccini’s wish that the three operas always be performed together.
