The three single-act operas are often performed separately, but Puccini conceived them as one unified path from the darker to the lighter. In Malta, Il Tabarro’s only performance can be traced to 1924, a whooping hundred years ago, while Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicci were performed together on the main island in 1928. Since then, this will be the first time ever the three works of art shall come together in this new production of the Aurora Opera House. Colin Attard conducts the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, the Aurora Opera Chorus and an international cast of opera artists yet to be announced.

Il Tabarro get its name from the cloak in which the tragic murder of an adulterous man takes place on the banks of the Seine. It runs on a libretto by Giuseppe Adami, taken from Didier Gold’s La houppelande.

Puccini’s admittedly favourite, Suor Angelica is a lyric opera with a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It’s one of the few all-female operas, where male voices, as well as a children’s chorus only sing at the end, from off stage.

The third piece, Gianni Schicchi is a comic opera, again with a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano based on an episode of Canto XXX from Dante’s Divine Comedy.
