Il Trittico - Royal Ballet and Opera Tickets and Hotel

The Show
Three operas.

Three worlds.

One aria about a cat.

What more could you ask for in an evening?

Oh, there is also the aria that Mr Bean lip-synced on holiday too.



Puccini's triple-threat trilogy returns.



Il Trittico has everything, with the tragedy of jealousy in Il tabarro, the agonising shame of Suor Angelica and the hilarious antics of Gianni Schicchi.



This masterpiece of melodrama, despair, and comedy will take you on a journey from darkness to light.

Il tabarroGiorgetta, the wife of Michele, a Parisian barge owner, has fallen in love with Luigi, one of her husband's workers in the dockyard - though Michele is growing increasingly suspicious.

Michele forces Luigi to admit his relationship with Giorgetta and then strangles him.

He covers the body with the cloak he used to wrap Giorgetta and their child, who died in infancy.

Giorgetta, repentant, approaches - and Michele reveals her lover's corpse.

Suor AngelicaSister Angelica has been forced to enter a convent by her family, following a scandal.

Her aunt, the Princess pays her first visit since Angelica entered the convent years ago, asking Angelica to sign over her inheritance to her younger sister.

But the Princess comes with devastating news of Angelica's illegitimate son, whom she has thought of every day since she entered the convent.

Two years ago, at the age of five, the boy died.

Overwhelmed with despair, Suor Angelica takes poison.

Realising that suicide is a mortal sin, she prays to the Virgin Mary for forgiveness.

Gianni SchicchiWhen Buoso Donati dies, his family are horrified to learn that he has left all his money to a monastery.

They turn to the cunning Gianni Schicchi to help them change his will.

But the plan backfires! Gianni Schicchi, impersonating Donati, makes a will leaving the best of the inheritance to himself - while cheerfully reminding the outraged family of the gruesome punishment they face if their plot is revealed.
