New Raspberry Bandits
New Raspberry Bandits is the new band from Vanessa and Jamie Saft. Virtuoso pianist/guitarist/composer Jamie Saft has been a crucial member of the downtown scene since the early 1990s, both as sideman and as leader of his own ensembles, including the New Zion Trio, The Jamie Saft Trio, and Grizzly Adamz. This children’s music debut with luscious vocals performed and written by Vanessa Saft boasts folk roots but covers a lot of ground. NRB’s new CD “Little Birds and Big Trucks” is out soon on Veal Records. Rockin’ whippersnappers will be head bopping to “Big Trucks” and seemingly angelic types will soon be belting out “Lula”.

Il Trittico, Giacomo Puccini

Il Trittico, Giacomo Puccini

Sun May 20th

2:00 PM | $20 | IL TABARRO / SUOR ANGELICA / GIANNI SCHICCHI | Three one-act operas | From the Royal Opera House | Sung in Italian with English subtitles | Estimated running time: 225 minutes, including two intermissions

This is The Royal Opera’s first complete presentation of Puccini’s Il trittico since 1965. Leading director Richard Jones staged his witty, darkly comic realization of Gianni Schicchi for The Royal Opera in 2007, and here he completes the trio. Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano will conduct. Il trittico (‘the triptych’), unveiled at the Metropolitan Opera, New York, in 1918, represented an operatic departure. Instead of a single evening-length narrative, Puccini offered three contrasting one-act works. Il trittico reached Covent Garden in 1920, but has rarely been performed there complete.
