Considered the greatest Italian opera composer since Verdi, Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) created many of the most popular operas in the repertoire, including Madama Butterfly, La Boheme, Tosca, Manon Lescaut, and Turandot. His well-known gifts for lush melody and rapturous lyricism, along with his strong sense of theater, are amply evident in Il Trittico (\"\"The Triptych\"\"), a series of three highly individual one-act operas patterned after the Parisian Grand Guignol's three-part scheme of horror, tragedy, and farce.Il Trittico, which premiered at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1918, consists of \"\"Il Tabarro,\"\" a somber, near-melodramatic tragedy; \"\"Suor Angelica,\"\" a sentimental tragedy with strong melodies and a mystic theme; and \"\"Gianni Schicchi,\"\" a delightful comedy, full of wit and vivacity, whose libretto was derived - surprisingly enough - from a few lines in Dante's Inferno. All three works appear in this single volume, reprinted from authoritative early editions.
