Original title: Gianni Schicchi, Opera by Giacomo Puccini TV Movie 2015 1 h IMDb RATING 6.6 /10 26 YOUR RATING Rate Cast & crew User reviews Trivia IMDbPro Comedy Musical Its mid-twentieth century Florence. To set the scene, Domingo and the Orchestra provide some of opera’s most glorious orchestral intermezzos. We’ve got a huge star to prove it, too: the one and only Sir Bryn Terfel, supported by some of the very best young singers in Europe today from the European Opera Centre for this dramatised performance. A sparking, screwball tale of scheming, bickering relatives, a lawyer and of young love, it’s a comedy with a huge heart.
“O mio babbino caro.” No-one wrote a lovesong quite like Puccini, but in the farcical world of Gianni Schicchi, nothing is quite as it seems. Ponchielli Dance of the Hours (La Gioconda) Mascagni Intermezzo (Cavalleria Rusticana) Mascagni Intermezzo sinfonico (L’amico Fritz) Schicchi addresses the audience, begging its indulgence for his sins since it has produced such a happy result.Puccini Intermezzo (Manon Lescaut, Act III)
He chases them away, except for Rinuccio, who remains with Lauretta. The furious relatives are powerless to stop him, as he reminds them that the penalty for falsifying a will is having the right hand chopped off and banishment from Florence. The relatives all have particular properties in mind and he leaves each one as requested, but reserves for himself the prize items of the house, a mule and the mill at Signa. Since no one outside the family knows that Buoso is dead, Schicchi disguises himself as Buoso, summons a lawyer and dictates a will. Resenting their attitude, he only agrees when Lauretta appeals to him, since her happiness depends on it. He sends for Schicchi and when they have read the will and found their fears to be true, tells them that only Schicchi has the ingenuity to save them.Īlthough they resent Schicchi as an upstart, when he arrives with Lauretta they beg him to help them. They search for the will and Rinuccio, who finds it, refuses to hand it over till his Aunt Zita promises to let him marry Lauretta, daughter of Gianni Schicchi. Buoso Donati has just died, surrounded by his relatives, who have heard that he has left all his money to the monks.
