We're just 3 weeks from opening night at The Grand! Artists are here, and rehearsals are in full swing. Can't wait for your Puccini fix? Follow @OperaDelaware on social media for exclusive, behind-the-scenes photos & more from the cast and crews of Il Tabarro/Suor Angelica& Gianni Schicchi/Buoso's Ghost!
You may know Gianni Schicchi, Puccini’s beloved comedy about a greedy family fighting over wealthy Uncle Buoso's estate only to be outwitted by the cunning Gianni Schicchi. But what happens next? Buoso's Ghost, composer Michael Ching's delightful Schicchi sequel, continues the fun by following the Donati family as they seek revenge on Schicchi. We are thrilled to welcome Michael to Delaware to conduct our production of Gianni Schicchi/Buoso's Ghost for the 2018 Festival! Watch this short video to meet Michael and learn more about this must-see comic pairing.
