The National Symphony Orchestra dives into Puccini’s Il trittico on Friday at 7 pm, presenting the triptych in concert so the orchestra and voices sit front and center. The sweep of Il tabarro, the devotion of Suor Angelica, and the wit of Gianni Schicchi land with clarity when freed from staging, and the NSO’s strings and winds relish Puccini’s color and pace. A cast of seasoned soloists shapes a tight, focused arc.
