Singer

In Puccini’s only comedic opera, the cunning and resourceful Gianni Schicchi (pronounced Johnny SKEE-kee) is sought out by the Donati family to alter the will of their deceased patriarch, Buoso. Schicchi, seizing the opportunity to outwit the greedy relatives, devises a clever scheme that not only benefits himself but also ensures justice prevails.

Joining us will be soprano Evelyn Saavedra, who recently starred in our Voices of Spring organ gala, bringing to us a voice of great beauty and a charming personality as well. Those of you who attended Madison Opera’s Opera in the Park last summer will remember Limmie Pulliam’s show stopping performance of Puccini’s Nessun dorma.
