Amelia Goes to the Ball & Gianni Schicchi
7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Get a double dose of operatic comedy as Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi come to life in full production with the Bard College Vocal Arts Program in the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater.
Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball—his first staged opera—sparkles with comic invention and lyrical wit. Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi transforms a Dantean tale of fraud into a masterclass of operatic irony and memorable motifs. Both one-acts showcase composers at the height of craft, blending human folly, clever plotting, and musical sophistication. From Amelia’s scheming to Schicchi’s trickster brilliance, the evening rewards close attention and sharp ears alike. A double bill to delight, provoke thought, and remind even the most discerning minds why opera remains a rigorous, endlessly inventive art form.
