Useful information:
Desperation. Despair. Deception.
Il Trittico is an operatic treat: a rare chance to see three short operas in one night.
Love, lies and death permeate the gritty melodrama of Il Tabarro, the intimate tragedy of Suor Angelica and the surprising satire of Gianni Schicchi.
The audience is the winner, with a triple helping of Puccini’s sumptuous orchestra writing, famous arias and the witty, tight ensemble singing of the best comedies.
We’ve brought together three outstanding Australian directors to tell these stories, plus exciting young conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya and a brilliant Australian cast.
Presented by Opera Australia
The Operas
Il tabarro
53 minutes
A thrilling drama set on a barge in Paris, where a miserable marriage ends in murder. Filled with secrets, escalating tensions, desire, and betrayal.
Suor Angelica
55 minutes
A tale of a woman forced into a convent. An emotional journey where she confronts her troubled past and experiences a poignant moment of redemption and sacrifice. It is renowned for its heart-wrenching music of cinematic intensity.
Gianni Schicchi
54 minutes
Sparkling music meets controlled comedic chaos: a rollicking opera about greed, cunning and youth. With hidden identities, a contested will and one of opera’s most famous pieces of music, this is a clever, consistently funny hour of opera with unexpected twists.

More stories. More sensational music. More of what makes opera magical. The excitement begins long before the first note. The date in your calendar. The glitter of the harbour. The magnificent sails. And then, the singing: unamplified, unfiltered, unbelievable.
