When done all together, these three one-act operas and the necessary intermissions between them make for a wearyingly long evening. Unsurprisingly, therefore, they are seldom performed as Puccini intended them. Gianni Schicchi, the lone comedy in Puccini's oeuvre, is the most often seen, with its tale of a lovable rogue (mentioned in Daunt) outwitting a family of rascals for the sake of his daughter--and their money. Il Tabarro (The Cloak) is a powerful and affecting piece of real verso. Suor Angelica (Sister Angelica) is the weakest link of the three with its sticky-sweet view of convent life, but it still has some lovely moments. This score offers all three operas with all the orchestral parts, but no English translation.
