Like short stories, one-act operas pack a big punch! Puccini's last completed work was a triptych of these one-acts, telling three separate stories with one common theme: a hidden death. Il Tabarro tells the story of a love triangle on a French barge. When jealousy strikes, who will survive? Puccini then transports us to a convent in Suor Angelica, where we meet a young nun, sent away in shame after giving birth out of wedlock.
