Piano,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.957644 Composed by Giacomo Puccini. Arranged by Adrian F. Pipas. Contemporary. 7 pages. Adrian F. Pipas #6643645. Published by Adrian F. Pipas (A0.957644). O mio babbino caro (Oh my dear Papa) is a soprano aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi (1918) by Giacomo Puccini to a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It is sung by Lauretta after tensions between her father Schicchi and the family of Rinuccio, the boy she loves, have reached a breaking point that threatens to separate her from Rinuccio. It provides an interlude expressing lyrical simplicity and love in contrast with the atmosphere of hypocrisy, jealousy, double-dealing, and feuding in medieval Florence. It provides the only set-piece in the through-composed opera.
