A comic opera telling the story of a wily lawyer, Gianni Schicchi, who impersonates a dead man so that he can rewrite the will and deprive the conniving relatives of their birthright. Howard Taubman, music critic of The New York times, gives an incontrovertible apologia for presenting opera in the language of the country in which it is being performed. A trio from the cast sings an illustration in Italian and English.
