  • In modern adaptations of Gianni Schicchi like this one it's really difficult to understand why these people are fighting for mules and a mill.

  • I love this aria! It's like a hymn to Florence (beautiful city, by the way).

  • Miles better than the version by Florez. It's not an aria for a big voice like Calaf or Cavaradossi but it still needs thrust and trob. Massimo is very damn good. He has color and brilliance.

  • Tenorino? Ma se la canta meglio di Di Stefano e di Del Monaco !!

  • @TheBaythorn he was expecting something from the will,so then he could marry.the girl he wants to marry is schichi's daughter.

  • what is his motivation for asking Gianni Schichi to come?

  • Concordo con andmat5. Regia da solito regista anglosaxon-todesco (vedi le Violette sulle scale mobili con spolverini in pelle nera). Bella la voce del tenorino

  • Bella voce di giordano non mi piace l'ambientazione inizio secolo .

  • Giordano ha una bella voce, ma perché tutti questi portamenti alla Gigli?

  • I love this opera; We're currently working on it at my college, but one question: why does Rinuccio never shut up? It's mind-numbing to the audience to have only one person in the opera singing anything that matters to the plot. "Oh, another Rinuccio aria? How nice... When does Zita sing one? Oh, never? Simone might have some worldly wisdom to share in a recit - Oh, no? Hmmmm...so it's just Rinuccio for most of the opera? Great. Ummmm...is it natural to bleed from the ears?"
