Additional information

We kick off a four-week run of operas from the Castleton Festival with a reprise of last year's acclaimed production of Puccini's Il Trittico. Lorin Maazel conducted this performance , which presented the operas in a different order than is customary -- putting the light-hearted Gianni Schicchi in the middle instead of the end.
