The Teatro Regio Torino mounted this 2008 performance of Giacomo Puccini's 1889 opera Edgar, which Puccini, in turn, adapted from the dramatic poem "La Coupe et les lèvres" by Alfred de Musset. This production marks one of the first to utilize a complete reconstruction of the final act by Puccini scholar Linda B. Fairtile and the composer's granddaughter, Simonetta Puccini. This version stars José Cura as Edgar, Amarilli Nizza as Fidelia, Julia Gertseva as Tigrana and Marco Vratogna as Frank. It features musical accompaniment by The Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Regio Torino, The Boys' Choir of the Teatro Regio Torino and The Conservatorio 'Giuseppe Verdi' di Torino. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

- 2007
A note of explanation for the unfamiliar: translated as 'The Tryptich,' the title, Il trittico, refers not to a single operatic work, but to an array of three 1918 one-act operas by the legendary Giacomo Puccini, frequently performed back-to-back: Gianni Schicchi, Suor Angelica and Il Tabarro. In this February 2007 production, the Teatro Comunale di Modena mounts all three works, with musical accompaniment by the Orchestra della Fondazione Arturo Toscanini and the Coro di Voci Bianche del Teatro Comunale, and Julian Reynolds conducting. Il tabarro stars Alberto Mastromarino as Michele, Amarilli Nizza as Giorgetta, and Rubens Pelizzari as Luigi; Suor Angelica stars Amarilli Nizza in the title role, Elisa Fortunati as La Badessa and Annamaria Chiuri as La zia principessa; and Gianni Schicchi stars Alberto Mastromarino in the title role, Amarilli Nizza as Lauretta and Annamaria Chiuri as Zita. Cristina Pezzoli directs for the stage. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
