Gianni Schicchi
October 24-26, 2025
You’ve heard O Mio Babbino Caro. But have you ever seen the opera it comes from?
​
Gianni Schicchi is one of Puccini’s sharpest and funniest works, but its rapid-fire Italian can make it hard for modern audiences to catch every joke. That’s about to change.
​
Join us for the world premiere of Maestra Janice Pantazelos’s vibrant new English translation and libretto. This fresh take brings Puccini’s brilliant comedy to life with sparkling clarity and updated language, while staying true to the luscious score you love.
​
It’s clever, chaotic, and full of heart. This is Puccini as you’ve never heard it before.
