The Italian grand master Giacomo Puccini proved with his opera triptych in the year 1918 that he was also accomplished at writing smaller-scale works. This production presents the first and third parts of the triptych. „Il tabarro“ („The Cloak“) is a dark story about a love triangle unfolding at a Parisian dock, culminating in a thrilleresque and almost cinematic showdown
