Giacomo Puccini - Il Trittico (2022): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2022, Giacomo Puccini - Il Trittico is a music film directed by Manuel Braun, running about 173 minutes.

What it’s about. Finding the right librettos was not easy, but one month after the end of the First World War, his triptych – the grim tragedy Il tabarro, the lyrical and sensitive Suor Angelica, and the comedy Gianni Schicchi – premiered in New York. Three different eras, three different settings, three different ‘colours’; though for Puccini, it is through the contrasts between them that the unity of the work is revealed. For his second time directing at La Monnaie, Tobias Kratzer preserves the original order of the pieces, while weaving them together to form a narrative whole, like a circle with no end. With a cast of artists from the extended La Monnaie family, Alain Altinoglu is the ideal conductor to meet the daunting challenges posed by this triptych.

Who’s in it. Giacomo Puccini - Il Trittico stars Lianna Haroutounian as Georgette / Suor Angelica, Peter Kálmán as Michele / Gianni Schicchi, Elena Zilio as La badessa / Zita and Raehann Bryce-Davis, among others.
