“Gianni Schicchi”, outstandingly directed by Viesturs Kairišs, has already been hailed as a comic opera favoured by the public in Riga and critics alike as part of “Il Trittico” in 2010. Five years later it returned to the stage of the Latvian National Opera alongside Puccini’s “Le Villi”. Initially conceived to spring from the plot of “The Divine Comedy” by Dante, it reveals human greed and avarice with ironic touch. Against the background of  squabbles and intricate plots of deception, weaved by good old family over parts of inheritance, a love couple manages to stumble into their sweet share of happiness.
