What is the name of the soprano aria from the opera "Gianni Schicchi" (1918), the third and and final part of Giacomo Puccini's "Il trittico"?
Gianni Schicchi Gianni Schicchi (] ) is a comic opera in one act by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Giovacchino Forzano, composed in 1917–18. The libretto is based on an incident mentioned in Dante's "Divine Comedy". The work is the third and final part of Puccini's "Il trittico" (The Triptych)—three one-act operas with contrasting themes, originally written to be presented together. Although it continues to be performed with one or both of the other "trittico" operas, "Gianni Schicchi" is now more frequently staged either alone or with short operas by other composers. The aria "O mio babbino caro" is one of Puccini's best known, and one of the most popular arias in opera.
Semirâma Semirâma is an opera in three acts by Ottorino Respighi to a libretto by Alessandro Cerè based on Voltaire's 1748 play "Sémiramis", the same subject used for Rossini's Semiramide. "Semirâma" premiered on 20 November 1910 at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna. The première obtained a great success, with several calls for the composer and the singers.
