Masterworks III: BEETHOVEN NINE | GRAND OPERA ARIAS

Broward Center For The Performing Arts

The College of the Florida Keys

Relatives of the newly-deceased (and very wealthy) Buoso Donati gather to bid farewell to their dear family member – and to learn what they each inherited. When they discover that Buoso’s will doesn’t read exactly as they hoped, the family enlists the help of the morally flexible Gianni Schicchi to help them re-write the will.

Thank you for joining On Site Opera in the sumptuous Prince George Ballroom for Puccini’s comedy of deception, greed, and doublecrossing that will surely made you appreciate your own family a little more!

This production marked the beginning of On Site Opera’s complete staging of Puccini’s Il Trittico over the next several seasons.
