Il Tabarro & Suor Angelica: Suor Angelica Puccini

IL TABARRO

Il Tabarro (The Greatcoat) features intense dramatic progression and a somber atmosphere where the main characters deal with their frustrations and unfulfilled desires for a better life which are in conflict with one another. Set in early 20th century Paris, Il Tabarro features a husband, wife and lover. Giorgetta is unhappy with her husband Michele, a bargeman. He suspects her of betraying him with the young Luigi, a barge hand. There are picturesque and realistic elements which serve as backdrop to a confrontation of passion and a tragic conclusion. Set to a master score with power and daring, Puccini transports us to a gritty and unsparing Paris. The realism of the story and the blending of the musical themes are both enchanting and stunning.

SUOR ANGELICA

Puccini wrote of Suor Angelica, “We have to find a story that holds us with its poetry, its love and suffering, and inspires us to the point that we can get an opera out of it.” Puccini wrote this in a letter to one of his librettists. Librettist Giovacchino Forzano proposed the subject of Suor Angelica to Puccini and the composer fell in love with the project. Puccini’s sister had become a nun and he took direct inspiration from the atmosphere of the convent where he visited her regularly. Puccini heard the dramatic circumstances of a young woman forced to take the veil because of a relationship which produced an illegitimate son. Suor Angelica features female voices only. It is a story of loneliness and death in intense emotional situations. The beautiful score depicts the harsh dialogue between Angelica and her aunt, the cruel princess who has come to announce the death of the baby that was torn from Angelica’s arms.
