City of Perth’s Opera in the Park Similcast

GIANNI SCHICCHI BY PUCCINI 

Gianni Schicchi features one of the world’s most popular arias, ‘O mio babbino caro’. The comedy takes place over one day, when a family’s greedy inheritance plans are disrupted. Cunning trickery is everything in this story; only the young lovers remain blissfully
ignorant of the scheming around them. Puccini’s final completed opera is a loving tribute to Italian theatrical and musical tradition.

For over two decades, the City of Perth has presented Opera in the Park as an annual gift to the residents and visitors of Perth, supported by Lotterywest to connect people in regional centres through a live simulcast and Healthway with the message alcohol.thinkagain.
