NEXT UP WINTER 2020

Music by Giacomo Puccini
Words by Bradley Greenwald and Steven Epp
Robert Elhai, Arranger
Sonja Thompson, Music Director

Two of the Twin Cities artistic treasures, Bradley Greenwald and Steven Epp are working on an English language adaptation of Giacomo Puccini’s comic opera, GIANNI SCHICCHI. GIANNI SCHICCHI is a one-act opera, the third and final part of Puccini’s IL TRITTICO, based on an incident mentioned in Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY. A farce where greed and hypocrisy face off against first love and old friendship set on the deck of a tricked-out yacht anchored off the coast of Miami.

This winter, Theater Latté Da is further developing JOHNNY SCHICCHI with a cast of 10 actors in virtual workshops as part of our NEXT UP new works initiative.

Development Sponsor: Jane and Ogden Confer in honor of Jim and Kris Matejchek

The story is usually set in 1299 in Florence, but we’re setting it in modern-day Miami, Florida.
