On Sunday, June 30, Neh Experience presents an exclusive event in Turin!
- Guided Ice Cream and Artisan Sauces Tasting by Alberto Marchetti (4 ice cream flavors paired with 3 Alberto Marchetti artisan sauces, whipped cream, Battifollo corn leaves and the crunchy Krumiri from Casale Monferrato) at h. 14.00
- Show "Il Trittico"-at the Teatro Regio di Torino at 3 p.m.
"Renew or die." True to his motto, between 1913 and 1915 Puccini composed three one-act operas differing in setting, plot, and musical style. The first is Il tabarro, a tragedy of passion and jealousy that takes place in Paris in the early 1900s among sailors on the Seine. The second, Suor Angelica, is a moving drama for female voices only: the protagonist is a woman who, forced by her family to take vows, dreams of seeing her child again. Finally Gianni Schicchi, whose black humor celebrates Florence's greatest swindler, condemned by Dante to Hell and redeemed here by his love for his daughter.
The three one-acts are often performed separately, but Puccini conceived them as a unified journey from darkness to light, the final effect of which is far more powerful than the mere sum of the parts. The Trittico will be directed by Pinchas Steinberg, in his always welcome return to the Regio. The new staging signed by Tobias Kratzer reinterprets the triad in a modern key, enhancing the differences and, at the same time, creating references and connections. The protagonist of Tabarro and Gianni Schicchi will be baritone Roberto Frontali, while Elena Stikhina and Anna Maria Chiuri will take on the roles of Suor Angelica and Aunt Princess.
