Puccini: Il trittico Blu-ray (The Royal Opera)Leading director Richard Jones staged his witty, darkly comic realization of Gianni Schicchi for The Royal Opera in 2007. The production was revived in 2012 and here he completes the trio with new productions of Il tabarro and Suor Angelica. These performances feature some terrific singing, including Ermonela Jaho's harrowing Suor Angelica. Also available on DVD Il tabarro Michele: Lucio Gallo Giorgetta: Eva Maria Westbroek Luigi: Aleksandrs Antonenko
