Where there's a will, there's a way.
When Buoso Donati dies, his relatives embark on a frantic search for his last will and testament, determined to get their hands on his fortune at any cost. Enter Gianni Schicchi, the clever rogue who knows how to solve any problembut possibly not in the way that this greedy family expects. Mariposa is excited to kick off our eight season with Puccinis farcical family drama, which features some of the composers most memorable music and is regarded as one of the funniest operas of all time. The opera will be brought to life by a multi-award-winning international cast and presented alongside a performance of Italian songs and scenes, so you wont want to miss this tribute to Italian opera at its peak!

What critics have to say about Opera Mariposa:
"Opera Mariposa stands at the forefront of Vancouver's opera scene."
- The Vancouver Project
"Opera has a reputation as an art form steeped in starchy tradition, but Opera Mariposa's recent performance of The Telephone broke up preconceptions by running the full gamut of being laugh-out-loud funny [to] haunting and beautiful."
- Glass City on Menotti's The Telephone
"Always passionate and passionately sung... there was possibly not a dry eye in the house."
- Review Vancouver on The Butterfly
"Well-honed delightful an excellent harbinger of more well-cast and well-directed operas to come."
- Opera Canada on Donizetti's Don Pasquale
"Run and buy tickets if you'd like an evening of delight."
- Review Vancouver on Pergolesi's La serva padrona
