Gianni Schicchi is an opera in one act by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Giovacchino Forzano, based on a story that is referred to in Dante´s The Divine Comedy. Although the story by Dante is dramatic, Puccini´s opera is actually a comedy. It is the third of the trio of operas known as Il trittico. Its first performance was at the Metropolitan Opera in 1918. The opera is best known for the soprano aria, ”O mio babbino caro” (Oh, my dear papa), which has featured in a number of movies and other works.
