A Florentine Tragedy / Gianni Schicchi
Presented by: Canadian Opera Company
The COC presents a double bill of one-act operas: Zemlinsky’s A Florentine Tragedy and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.
Zemlinsky’s satiric one-acter is based on an unfinished Oscar Wilde play that tells the tale of a merchant who discovers his wife’s affair with the Prince of Florence. Part two of the double bill is Puccini’s tour-de-force comedy in which family members frantically scheme to benefit their own greed when excluded from a wealthy relative’s will. Bass-baritone Alan Held and German soprano Gun-Brit Barkmin make their COC debuts in the lead roles of both operas.
