Set in medieval Florence, Gianni Schicchi is a sharp-witted one-act comic opera that explores themes of greed, deception, justice, and the power of love. When the wealthy Buoso Donati dies, his family is horrified to discover that he has left his entire fortune to a monastery. Desperate to keep the inheritance for themselves, they turn to the clever and street-smart Gianni Schicchi for help.

In a daring and hilarious scheme, Schicchi impersonates the dead man to dictate a new will—outsmarting the greedy relatives by securing the best parts of the estate for himself. Meanwhile, a heartfelt subplot unfolds as young lovers Rinuccio (Buoso’s nephew) and Lauretta (Schicchi’s daughter) hope that Schicchi’s scheme will also secure their future together.

With its biting satire, lively score, and iconic aria “O mio babbino caro,” Gianni Schicchi cleverly exposes the hypocrisy of high society while affirming that cunning and love can prevail—even in a world driven by selfishness.

Based on Italian folk tales of the Nativity and Epiphany, Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and The Night Visitors is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young disabled boy named Amahl. He sees a bright star in the sky one night and tells his mother, but she brushes him off, buried in concern over their poverty and bleak future. That night, three kings come across their hut, seeking shelter after a long journey following the star of which Amahl had spoken. They bring gifts to give to “the Child,” who has just been born and will reign over all.
