Giacomo Puccini’s triptych of operas, Il trittico, opens with Il tabarro (The Cloak) - a taut melodrama set in working-class Paris. It is based on the play La Houppelande by the French playwright Didier Gold, which Puccini saw in 1912. The libretto was created by Giuseppe Adami, with whom Puccini also collaborated on La rondine.
Il tabarro opens with an evocation of the rippling waters of the Seine - a musical motif that runs throughout the opera. The river is also powerfully represented in Ultz’s stage designs, which re-create the moored barges and tall, soot-blackened buildings lining the Seine. The Royal Opera’s production opened in 2011 as part of the first complete staging of Il trittico at Covent Garden since 1965.

When I bought the DVD of the ROH production of the Trittico I finally realized why Agelica was Puccini's favorite but that didn't stop it from being the "stepchild" of the three. For many years the best recording was the de los Angeles performance and it is a very moving performance but the music after the aria lies high and great soprano no longer had easy access to the music. Even so the recording is one that belongs in any decent collection of the Spanish soprano's recorded work. ROH cast the Albanian soprano Ermonela Jaho who does have an easy access to the finale and is superb both as a singer and an actress. Criticizing Ms. Unwin is both rude and out of order; she is not a "star" A list singer but was there to flesh out Maestro Pappano's comments. It would have been wiser to draw a veil of silence rather that the remarks that were made.
