Utah Festival's Gianni Schicchi and Buoso's Ghost

Michael Ballam stars in a rare back-to-back showing of Giacomo Puccini’s classic comedic opera and Michael Ching’s hilarious operatic sequel. Wealthy patriarch Buoso Donati has died, and his family is shocked to discover that none of them are in his will. They ask the mischievous Gianni Schicchi to get them into the will, but Schicchi’s “help” is more than they bargained for-and so are his discoveries about the circumstances of Buoso’s death.
