Gianni Schicchi
Opera in one act | Libretto by Giovacchino Forzano
English Version byy Anne and Herbert Grossman
Directed by Scott Ferguson
Music Direction by Timothy Sharp

Gianni Schicchi, Puccini′s only comic opera, was an actual historic character introduced to the world by Dante. According to Dante, Schicchi′s crime was that he used his great gift of mimicry to impersonation Buoso Donati, just deceased, to dictate a will to favor his son. Giovacchino Forzano, librettist for the opera, took these bare facts of history and elaborated this tale into a comedy of great wit, ingenuity, and hilarity. Puccini loved the story, and created a one-act opera which delights audiences through the mystery, the madness, and most of all, the music.
