THE PUCCINI EFFECT

The women he loved. The music they inspired.

Written & 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 sing some of the most beautiful arias ever composed, accompanied by Associate Artist Angus Grant.
