This is a truly brilliant production of Puccini's comic masterpiece. Although this one-acter, the third in Puccini's "Il Trittico" (trilogy) of one-act operas dealing with the subject of death, is less than an hour long, it packs a more than satisfying punch in the way of great music, well-drawn characters, and entertaining plot.

I can't think of a worse concept than moving an opera that turns on a point of Medieval law to the early 20th century.

It is a rare thing to find an opera that is not just "humorous" but hilarious, and even rarer is ... Read More
