Latvian National Opera
Giacomo Puccini "Il Trittico": Il Tabarro Suor Angelica Gianni Schicchi

The Riga Opera Festival at the Latvian National Opera was opened with a 
new production of Puccini's Il Trittico on June 8 2010. Il Trittico, world-premiered at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1918, consists out of the three one-act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi. It has  never been performed in its entirety in Riga before.

Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian will take on the extraordinary challenge to portray the evening's three female leads: Giorgetta in Il Tabarro, the title-role in Suor Angelica, and Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi. Brazilian tenor and OPERALIA winner Thiago Arancam will sing Luigi in Il Tabarro, Swedish baritone Kosma Ranuer will sing Michele in Il Tabarro and the title-role in Gianni Schicchi.

Under the baton of Chief Conductor Modestas Pitrenas, the cast also includes mezzo-sopranos Ilona Bagele and Andžella Goba as Frugola in Il Tabarro, as La Zia Principessa in Suor Angelica, and as Zita in Gianni Schicchi, sopranos Inga Šlubovska and Gunta Davidčuka as Sister Genovieffa in Suor Angelica, and tenor Raimonds Bramanis as Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi.

Stage Director: Viestur Kairish (Viesturs Kairišs)
Sets and costumes designed by Ieva Jurjane. 

Viesturs Kairišs won international critical acclaim for his productions of "Die Walküre" (2007) and "Siegfried" (2008) at the Latvian National Opera.

Puccini's Il Trittico, world-premiered at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 1918, consists out of the three one-act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi. The LNO production of Il trittico marks the first time ever that this exceptional work is performed in Latvia in its entirety - just as Puccini intended it.

Director Viesturs Kairišs: "Puccini set Il Tabarro in 1910, Suor Angelica in the late 17th century, and Gianni Schicchi in the 13th century, in Dante's time. So according to Puccini, the first opera has the most contemporary setting, and from there on, we move back in time, back in history. We turned this historic paradigm around. The first story is supposed to happen a hundred years ago. We decided to move it to the 1920s. From there, we move further towards our time - our convent is set in the 1950s, and Gianni Schicchi is set today. One of the deepest paradoxes of history is that the most ancient story is the most up-to-date one, packed with greed, corruption, intrigues, and scheming. What was an innocent historical story to laugh at in Puccini's time is a biting reality now. Our reality."
