In honor of Puccini's 150th birthday, La Scala’s Il Tritico comes to stage and screen in a sumptuous production. Il Trittico (The Triptych) is the title to a collection of three one-act operas: Il Tabarro, is a dark and brooding tale of clandestine passion, full of violence and grit associated with verismo opera.  Suor Angelica starts with the deeply personal sacrifice of a nun and ends as a sublime tale of religious redemption. Gianni Schicchi is a gleefully comedic farce on greed and corruption that unfailingly sends its audience away with smiles on their faces. Performed at La Scala, March 2008.

Verdi’s Il Trovatore, or “the troubadour,” is the story of star-crossed lovers, mixed-up infants, and acts of vengeance. Count Di Luna and Manrico, the wandering minstrel or “troubadour” of the title, are rivals for Lady Leonora’s love. When Leonora declares her love for Manrico, the two men duel. Although Manrico has the chance to kill Di Luna, a mysterious force from within him stays his hand and allows Di Luna to live. And then things get really crazy. Performed December 22, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, Spain.

With Falstaff, Verdi bid a magnificent farewell to opera. He chose, however, a genre that he wasn’t familiar with: the comic opera. Verdi brought something new to opera at a time when his prior works had already become classics. This last Verdi opera was first played in front of an enthusiastic Milanese public and ended Verdi’s work on a happy note. Performed at Opéra Royal De Wallonie, Liège, Belgium.

Conductor: Riccardo Muti
Directed: Stephen Langridge

Verdi’s last tragic opera Otello, like Shakespeare’s play, is a shattering psychological drama. The new production for the Salzburg Festival is directed by Stephen Langridge, who in 2006 attracted attention with his production of Offenbach’s Bluebeard in Bregenz. Riccardo Muti, one of the best Verdi conductors of our time, is returning to Salzburg. Alongside to the Spanish baritone Carlos Álvarez as Jago, two rising international singers of the younger generation can be heard as Otello and Desdemona: the Latvian spinto tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko and the Russian soprano Marina Poplavskaya. Performed at Salzburg Festival 2008.
