Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, September 2011
Leading director Richard Jones staged his witty, darkly comic realization of Gianni Schicchi for The Royal Opera in 2007.
Antonio Pappano conducts an acclaimed cast including Eva-Maria Westbroek, Ermonela Jaho, Lucio Gallo, Elena Zilio and rising star Francesco Demuro.
“In the theatre, Suor Angelica packed a stronger punch [than Il Tabarro]. Here, on DVD, it is little short of devastating... Jaho's youthful vulnerability is deeply moving... Gianni Schicchi is a wicked 1960s delight... Outstandingly filmed, this set marks a high point for live opera on DVD... I have no hesitation in making this new Trittico the top recommendation.”
