Il trittico
''Il trittico'' (''The Triptych'') is the title of a collection of three one-act operas, ''Il tabarro'', ''Suor Angelica'', and ''Gianni Schicchi'', by Giacomo Puccini. The work received its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera on December 14, 1918.
==Background==
Around 1904, Puccini first began planning a set of one-act operas, largely because of the success of ''Cavalleria rusticana''.〔Ashbrook, p. 170〕 Originally, he planned to write each opera to reflect one of the parts of Dante's ''Divine Comedy''. However, he eventually based only ''Gianni Schicchi'' on Dante's epic poem; the link in the final work is that each opera deals with the concealment of a death.〔Fisher, p. 13〕
Puccini also intended that the three should be performed as a set, and wrote to Casa Ricordi to complain about their giving permission in 1920 to The Royal Opera, London, "for ''Tabarro'' and ''Schicchi'' without ''Angelica''". He reluctantly agreed that the two operas could be given in a programme with Serge Diaghilev's ''Ballets Russes'', but when he heard that ''Il tabarro'' had also been dropped, he wrote to his friend Sybil Seligman to say "I very much dislike ''Trittico'' being given in bits – I gave permission for ''two'' operas, and not ''one'', in conjunction with the Russian Ballet." 〔Osborne, pp. 220–221〕
Today, it is quite common to see only one or two of the ''trittico'' operas performed in an evening, and sometimes one of them may be paired with another one-act opera by a different composer.
