Il Tabarro (the cloak)
A love triangle turns deadly on the banks of the Seine
On Site Opera continues its multi-year cycle of Puccini’s Il Trittico one acts with the brooding Il tabarro (The Cloak). Puccini and Adami’s drama of a love triangle that turns deadly on the banks of the Seine river will be transported to the historic waterfront of the South Street Seaport. The lightship Ambrose at the South Street Seaport Museum and Pier 16 will provide the backdrop for this story of jealousy and suspicion. After the success of What Lies Beneath aboard the tall ship Wavertree in 2021, On Site Opera is thrilled to once again partner with the South Street Seaport Museum to bring opera to life aboard this historic fleet.

About On Site Opera
Founded in 2012, On Site Opera is the leading presenter of site-specific operas in non- traditional venues throughout New York City. Rooted in collaboration and storytelling, On Site Opera celebrates the connection between artist and audience through highly-curated experiences led by seasoned opera artists and bold and innovative creative teams. To date, OSO has produced 18 operas in as many unique locations to critical acclaim, including Shostakovich’s The Tale of The Silly Baby Mouse using large-scale puppets in performances for families at the Bronx Zoo; Gershwin’s Blue Monday in the historic Cotton Club of Harlem; and Rameau’s Pygmalion in Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, which explored new technology in opera through the use of Google Glass supertitles. Each production invites New Yorkers to explore their city in new and unique ways, while cultivating a new generation of opera audiences.
