Genesis Opera presents Gianni Schicchi, Puccini’s only comic opera and one of his most delightful masterpieces. Set in medieval Florence, this one-act gem unravels with humor, heart, and a perfectly timed twist, all set to a lush and vibrant score.
The story begins with the death of a wealthy man—and the chaos that follows when his greedy relatives realize they’ve been left out of his will. Enter Gianni Schicchi, a clever outsider with a wild scheme to turn their fortune (and the story) upside down. What unfolds is a hilarious tale of disguise, deception, and a little poetic justice—all delivered through Puccini’s sparkling melodies, including the beloved aria “O mio babbino caro.”
