Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini, from LA Opera, 2015. Directed by Matthew Diamond, conductor Grant Gershon.

Woody Allen works his magic, ramping up the comedy in Puccini's already comic opera to the point of absurdity. He uses his opera directing debut to lampoon a series of Italian cinema clichés. Placido Domingo plays the sly Gianni Schicchi with casual nonchalance, proving his substantial skill as a comic actor.

Legendary artists combine forces forasensational performance.Plácido Domingo,internationally renowned opera singer,stars as Gianni Schicchi in this riotous staging of Puccini's masterpiece, directed by Academy Awards winner Woody Allen.The story is splendidly conveyed through the contribution of famed scenic designer Santo Loquasto.The stage becomes purposefully muddled with characters,populatingamulti-story labyrinth inabold representation of Italian stereotypes around the 1950s.The result is racy and comical,areal artistic triumph that will leave you buzzing with excitement.

Two legendary directors combine forces for a sensational season-opener. First, Plácido Domingo stars as Gianni Schicchi in Woody Allen’s riotous staging of Puccini’s comic masterpiece, conducted by Grant Gershon. When greedy relatives descend upon their kinsman’s deathbed, they enlist Gianni Schicchi to rewrite the will to their benefit. Handed an opportunity too good to resist, the devious Schicchi turns the tables, securing the future happiness of two young lovers in the process.

After the intermission, Plácido Domingo conducts the conclusion of the double bill, Franco Zeffirelli’s epic production of Pagliacci starring Marco Berti, Ana María Martínez and George Gagnidze. Filling the stage with hair-raising drama, the action plays out in a breathtaking contemporary urban landscape. When a cuckolded husband takes his revenge, his desperate wife must fight for her life in front of a cheering, oblivious audience.

Gianni Schicchi Sneak Peek

On 12 September, Gianni Schicchi opened the LA Opera’s 2015/2016 season, which marks its 30th anniversary. The production by director Woody Allen first saw the light of day in LA in 2008, travelled to Teatro Real in Madrid and now returns home, restaged by Kathleen Smith Belcher – a highly-anticipated homecoming by audiences and critics alike. Gianni Schicchi premiered at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1918, being the third and final installment of Giacomo Puccini’s Trittico. It is based on an episode from Dante’s Divine Comedy. The story begins with the death of a Florence family patriarch who had the audacity to leave his fortune to a monastery rather than his greedy family. Clever Gianni is asked to rewrite the will to the family’s benefit. Little do they know that Gianni has his own agenda and is determined to help out two young lovers…
