THE WOMEN HE LOVED. THE MUSIC THEY INSPIRED.
WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY VANESSA WEST. ASSOCIATE ARTIST ANGUS GRANT
Puccini loved women. His operatic heroines of Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Mimi are what legends are
made of – but so far little has been told about what – or more importantly who – inspired these
passionate women of opera.
This one-woman-show is a hot-blooded hybrid of drama and operatic recital. It paints the lust, romance,
jealousy and passion of Puccini’s real-life love affairs and dramatically links his real-life women with the
infamous “suffering heroines” portrayed in his opera masterpieces.
Don't miss soprano Vanessa West singing some of the most beautiful arias ever composed, accompanied by Associate Artist Angus Grant.
