Description
Step into the chaos and comedy of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi at the historic Plummer House, reimagined as 19th-century Florence for this immersive operatic experience. When the wealthy Buoso Donati dies, his greedy relatives are horrified to learn he’s left his entire fortune to the church. Desperate to reclaim the inheritance, they enlist the clever and unorthodox Gianni Schicchi to impersonate the deceased and rewrite the will—setting off a whirlwind of scheming, deception, and musical brilliance.
Ease into the evening with a relaxed-Italian-style Aperitivo Hour, featuring hors d’oeuvre and a signature Italian cocktail curated by Bitter & Pour. Enjoy signature bites from local Italian restaurants, Terza and Pasquales before settling in for Puccini’s one-act comic masterpiece.. With razor-sharp wit, vivid characters, and the unforgettable aria “O mio babbino caro,” Gianni Schicchi promises an evening of laughter, intrigue, and unforgettable artistry.
