Question: Which opera was perfomed first, Il tabarro or Candide?
Context: Theodore I of Corsica (25 August 1694 – 11 December 1756), born Theodor Stephan Freiherr von Neuhoff, was a German adventurer who was briefly King of Corsica.  Theodore is the subject of an opera by G. Paisiello, "Il re Teodoro in Venezia" (1784, Vienna), and one of the six kings in Venice in Voltaire's "Candide". This is a list of the recordings of Gianni Schicchi, the third of a group of three one-act operas by Giacomo Puccini collectively known as "Il trittico"; the other operas are "Il tabarro" and "Suor Angelica".  The three were premiered at the Metropolitan Opera on 14 December 1918, and for the next three years were always played together.  After 1921, however, Puccini agreed that the operas could be performed separately. " Gianni Schicchi" became the most popular and most frequently performed of the three, often paired with other works such as Maurice Ravel's "L'heure espagnole" and Richard Strauss's "Salome". Candide Preis (originally called "Stadtschreiber Stipendium", later "Candide Preis") is the only one German-French Literary award, named for its French satire "Candide" (first published in 1759 by Voltaire). Since 1995 it's prize every year awarded by the Foundation Genshagen, the Literary Association Minden, the "Villa Gillet" (Lyon) and the Minister of Culture (France) to French and German contemporary authors. Il tabarro (The Cloak) is an opera in one act by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Adami, based on Didier Gold's play "La houppelande".  It is the first of the trio of operas known as "Il trittico".  The first performance was given on 14 December 1918 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

She is in the annual book of Italian opera singer for having sung in the first world edition of contemporary opera at "Teatro comunale di Modena", broadcast on Italian state radio RAI.  Gioconda is the first singer in the premiere world ever of the contemporary opera “Lavinia fuggita” by Matteo d’Amico.  She has two degrees in opera singing and musicology from Italian conservatory "Santa Cecilia" and international high school of opera "H.Wolf".  The tenor Luciano Pavarotti has been her teacher, among other opera singers who selected her as one of the best students.  She was selected as best singer at accademia rossiniana in Pesaro and she debuts the role of "Madama cortese" in "il viaggio a Reims" by Rossini with the symphonic orchestra of Rof at Rossini theatre in Pesaro.  She sings again in a Rossini opera at Ercolano international opera season in "Il barbiere di Siviglia" and at teatro Politeama opera season in Lecce.  After Rossini she debuts "Carmen" by Bizet.  Her interpretation of the role "Mimì" in the opera "La Boheme" by Puccini received positive critiques. Il trittico ("The Triptych") is the title of a collection of three one-act operas, "Il tabarro", "Suor Angelica", and "Gianni Schicchi", by Giacomo Puccini.  The work received its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera on 14 December 1918. Candide is an operetta with music composed by Leonard Bernstein, based on the 1759 novella of the same name by Voltaire.  The operetta was first performed in 1956 with a libretto by Lillian Hellman; but since 1974 it has been generally performed with a book by Hugh Wheeler which is more faithful to Voltaire's novel.  The primary lyricist was the poet Richard Wilbur.  Other contributors to the text were John Latouche, Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman, Stephen Sondheim, John Mauceri, John Wells, and Bernstein himself.  Maurice Peress and Hershy Kay contributed orchestrations.  Although unsuccessful at its premiere, "Candide" has now overcome the unenthusiastic reaction of early audiences and critics and achieved enormous popularity.  It is very popular among major music schools as a student show because of the quality of its music and the opportunities it offers to student singers. Candide, ou l'Optimisme, ( ; French: ] ) is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.  The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: or, Optimism (1947).  It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply "optimism") by his mentor, Professor Pangloss.  The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world.  Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".

With that company, she soon sang in "Carmen" (as Micaëla), "La bohème" (as Mimì), "Louise" (opposite Norman Treigle as the Père), "Die lustige Witwe" and "Don Giovanni" (as Donna Elvira). Giuseppe Adami (4 February 187812 October 1946) was an Italian librettist, known for his collaboration with Giacomo Puccini on the operas "La rondine" (1917), "Il tabarro" (1918) and "Turandot" (1926).
