Richard Wagner: Siegfried Idyll
Dmitri Shostakovich: Two Pieces for String Octet Op. 11
Dmitri Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony in C Minor, Op. 110a
Spend a Sunday afternoon in the enchanting musical world of Il trittico, Puccini’s grand triptych of one-act operas: Suor Angelica, Il tabarro, and Gianni Schicchi, featuring such iconic arias as “O mio babbino caro,” “Senza mamma,” “Firenze è come un albero fiorito,” and many more. This complete, three-part performance—a first at Carnegie Hall—is conducted by 2023 Puccini Award winner Gianandrea Noseda, one of today’s most celebrated opera and concert conductors. An international cast of all-star singers brings each tale to life—from intense tragedy to comical farce—alongside the National Symphony Orchestra and The Washington Chorus.
Step into a world of passion, tragedy, and deception with Puccini’s Il trittico, a trio of one-act operas led by world-renowned opera conductor Gianandrea Noseda.
Suor Angelica plunges into the depths of sacrifice behind convent walls. Il tabarro unveils a shadowy tale of love and betrayal along the Seine. Gianni Schicchi turns deception into delight in a sharp-witted comedy of intrigue. Three stories, three distinct worlds—one unforgettable evening of Opera in Concert.
