Gianni Schicchi

Lunchbreak Opera returns to the Bridewell Theatre after their appearance in the Opera in the City Festival 2018 with the final opera of Giacomo Puccini's Il Trittico. Gianni Schicchi is a comical farce inspired by characters from Dante's Divine Comedy and the theatrical style of Commedia Dell'Arte.

‘A dysfunctional family believe that they are set to inherit a great deal of money when the patriarch of the family dies. They must turn to Gianni Schicchi for help when their plans go awry.’

Lunchbreak Opera presents a new production of this classic opera in a new arrangement and English translation.
