Metropolitan Opera Presents Il Trittico

Saturday, December 12, is the first Saturday matinee broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera for the 2009-2010 season. KFUO 99.1 FM in St. Louis will be carrying the broadcast of Il Trittico, by Giacomo Puccini, beginning at 11:30 a.m.


Il Trittico has a running time of nearly four hours, and this production stars Patricia Racette in all three one-act operas that comprise Puccini's ambitious operatic triptych. According to the Met's web site, "Jack O'Brien's spectacular production also features Stephanie Blythe, reprising her acclaimed interpretation from the 2007 premiere run. The stellar cast also includes Željko Lucic and Alessandro Corbelli, who returns to the title role of Gianni Schicchi."
