Il Trittico
Welsh National Opera, Cardiff Bay
GIACOMO PUCCINI’S three single-act operas making up Il Trittico (“the tryptych”) have been brought to theatres in Wales and England together as a triple-bill as the Italian maestro planned.
But as the audience arrived they were greeted by trade union members protesting against the latest cuts from the Arts Councils of England and Wales which have led Welsh National Opera to announce cuts in pay and jobs in the orchestra and chorus.
Although these operas are seldom played together, WNO and Scottish Opera are to be congratulated for a fabulous co-production of Il Trittico.
