Gianni Schicchi

by Giacomo Puccini

Gianni Schicci is the story of a family seeking a way to claim the family fortune. Their only way to success lies in the clever and crafty Gianni Schicchi. The performance setting is in the modern era, contemporary furniture and apportions. I wanted to use color and subtle but dynamic lighting to enhance the various aspects of this story.
