Abstract A production of Puccini's triptych of powerfully contrasted one-act operas. Under the baton of Music Director Antonio Pappano and staged by the ever-inventive Richard Jones, Il tabarro intensely evokes 1930s French cinema, Suor Angelica brings a heart-wrenching central performance from Ermonela Jaho and Gianni Schicchi rounds off events in a suitably riotous fashion.
