“My fellow CLAVA resident artists inspired me every day. Being surrounded by such dedicated musicians pushed me to raise my own standards, not through competition, but through shared commitment to excellence.”

Director's Note: Daniel Isengart on Bringing Gianni Schicchi to Life
What a joy to bring this masterpiece to life with our CLAVA artists and the extended family of CLA alumni. Having presented the intense, broodingly dark one-acter Il Tabarro from Puccini's Il Trittico in our 2025 season, it seemed fitting to follow up this year with the trilogy's closing act. A comedy, at last!
