The Young Artists presented a hilarious production of Puccini’s only comedy, <i>Gianni Schicchi</i>, as the second half of a double-bill (following Ravel’s <i>L’enfant et les sortilèges</i>) in 2008. As staged by YAP Artistic Director Peter Kazaras, this intense ensemble piece prominently featured the corpse of Buoso Donati.
