“Youthful desire, forbidden love, and brutal vengeance simmer to an explosion in the diverse melting pot of a 1940s New York City tenement. As the heat of the day builds, a family is pushed to an eruption that changes the community forever. Soaring operatic arias and duets rub shoulders with jazz and the jitterbug. With numbers such as ‘Lonely House’ and ‘Moon-faced, Starry-eyed’, it’s no wonder that Street Scene was awarded Best Original Score at the first Tony Awards in 1947.” - Music.iastate.edu

“Margaret Johnson, the wife of an American businessman, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, Clara. While sightseeing, Clara – a beautiful, surprisingly childish young woman – loses her hat in a sudden gust. As if guided by an unseen hand, the hat lands at the feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli, a handsome Florentine, who returns it to Clara. This brief episode, charged with coincidence and fate, sparks an immediate and intense romance between Clara and Fabrizio. Margaret, extremely protective of her daughter, attempts to keep Clara and Fabrizio apart. But as events unfold, a secret is revealed: in addition to the cultural differences between the young lovers, Clara is not quite all that she appears. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own hopes as well.” - Concordtheatricals.com

“When discussing Giacomo Puccini, one immediately thinks of works such as La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, and Turandot, which are among the most famous in the history of opera! However, some of his most successful arias come from works that could be considered "minor," but which have nothing to envy his most famous compositions. Such is the case, for example, with the aria O mio babbino caro, made famous by Maria Callas’ interpretation. Not everyone may know that this aria is from the opera Gianni Schicchi, first performed in 1918 and inspired by an episode narrated in Canto XXX of Dante's Inferno. The famous romance narrates the story of Lauretta: set in 14th-century Florence, the young girl begs her father, the clever Gianni Schicchi, to help the Donati family recover an inheritance lost due to a poorly worded will. Due to the hatred he holds towards the Donati family, he hesitates, delays, and protests, but it is ultimately Lauretta's love for Buoso Donati that convinces him to act... not without a surprising finale!” - Medici.tv
