Giacomo Puccini cultural celebrations in Italy

Overview

Giacomo Puccini’s operatic works are being highlighted through various cultural events across Italy. In Sicily, the Ortea Palace Hotel is hosting an exhibition titled ‘Tosca e i Pupi Siciliani’, which features handcrafted puppets representing characters from the opera ‘Tosca’. These pieces, created by the Teatro dei Pupi Vaccaro Mauceri, combine traditional Sicilian puppetry with operatic themes.

In Jesi, the Teatro Pergolesi has inaugurated its 59th Traditional Lyric Season with a performance of Puccini’s ‘Trittico’. This production, directed by Paul-Émile Fourny and conducted by Stefano Vignati, marks the first time the theater has performed all three one-act operas—Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi—together in a single evening. The production is notable for the Jesi stage debut of ‘Il Tabarro’ and the use of water as a recurring visual symbol to connect the three settings.
