Puccini's Gianni Schicchi | Grange Park Opera

Our 6th free-to-see Opera Film since COVID struck.
When 60-year-old Puccini decided to compose his first comedy, he chose the story of a 13th-century con-man and trickster, Giovanni (shortened to Gianni) Schicchi.
A fabulous tongue-in-cheek production filmed in November with a star cast.
