Gianni Schicchi
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. 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.

After Buoso Donati (an extremely wealthy man) dies, chaos ensues. His money-grubbing relatives, pretending to be mourning his death, search frantically for his will. After it is found, and it is discovered that he left most of his money and possessions to the local monks, the family is horrified. They beg cunning Gianni Schicchi to find a solution. At first Schicchi does not want to help the revolting family, but eventually agrees to impersonate Buoso Donati and attempt to change the will (since no one outside of the family knows Donati has already died). In the end, Schicchi succeeds in changing the will, but ends up giving most of the possessions to himself!
