Directors Woody Allen and William Friedkin may not be the most often-mentioned figures in opera circles, but the LA Opera has the prolific pair helming its new production of Il Trittico, a 1918 trilogy by Giacomo Puccini. The production is composed of three one-act tragedies, with Friedkin directing Il Tabarro and Suor Angelica, and Allen making his opera debut with the Dante-inspired Gianni Schicchi. Longtime Allen production designer Santo Loquasto is on board. In leading roles are German soprano Anja Kampe and newbie Laura Tatulescu, who sings one of opera's finest arias, "O Mio Babbino Caro."
