About

We've been bringing a little bit of the world to Milwaukee since 1933. Opera is a journey of discovery, exploring the glory of the human voice. The Florentine Opera celebrates stories that have endured for centuries, timelessly resonating with our emotions and life experiences supersized. We're a powerhouse of the country's up and coming talent, with a special Milwaukee twist. We're an acquired taste, and easy to love at first experience. Be curious, and remember that the thrill of an unmiked voice filling a hall and soaring over an orchestra never gets old. Even if we've been around since 1933!

Description

Welcome to the Buoso ranch, Texas, where the patriarch has just died and everyone suddenly has very strong opinions about his will. With only a small window of time to scheme, the family spirals into greed, chaos, and some extremely bad behavior—complicated further by a case of inconvenient young love. Enter Gianni Schicchi, whose clever plan might save the day or blow it all up.

Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi is a rapid-fire comedy of money, romance, and family infighting, unfolding in real time and escalating by the minute.
