Giacomo Puccini: Triptych
Few composers can portray the joys, desires, and sufferings of everyday people with such compassionate and complex realism as Giacomo Puccini. Whether it’s greed, grief, loneliness, or revolution, his musical depictions make us feel everything in our guts, even when we don’t have personal experience with the situation.
Puccini’s Il trittico is a collection of three one-act operas that are connected by a common theme: death.
In the Cloak (Il tabarro) he shows the side of death related to love and jealousy. Perceived and real danger, betrayal, and forbidden love lead to death caused by overheated passion.
In Sister Angelica (Suor Angelica) we experience the unpredictable side of death, which our protagonist experiences in communion, repentance and purification.
Is there absolution and forgiveness?
Gianni Schicchi presents perhaps the most prosaic side of death. A family grieving the loss of their wealthy relative, in their greed they almost completely forget about death, but the real twist (of course) awaits them at the very end.
