One hundred years after its world premiere at the Met, Puccini’s operatic triple bill returns to celebrate its centenary. This season, the production features soprano Amber Wagner and tenor Marcelo Álvarez as Il Tabarro’s forbidden lovers, soprano Kristine Opolais as the broken Suor Angelica, and the legendary Plácido Domingo as Gianni Schicchi. Mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe reprises her celebrated portrayals in all three operas. Guild lecturer Naomi Barrettara explores the complexities of fidelity, religion, and parenting in Puccini’s towering triptych.
